ROEDING’S QUALITY 
CLIMBING and TRAILING PLANTS 
Climbers soften harsh architectural features, conceal 
bare walls and fences, and make our homes and gar- 
dens more livable. Our list is designed to allow lati- 
tude for personal taste. You will find varieties with 
large foliage, varieties with small foliage, rampant 
or restrained climbers and flowers in all hues. Most 
climbers come in handy containers and may be 
planted at any season of the year. Best results are ob- 
tained by planting when the soil is fairly warm, when 
growth-response is satisfyingly prompt.

BOUGAINVILLEA 
Care must be used when planting Bougainvilleas.

the small root system. Handle plants very carefully.

tomary irrigation.

CLEMATIS . . . Large Flowered Varieties 
Success with Clematis depends greatly on the situa- 
tion in which they are planted. The ideal planting site 
provides a cool shaded area for the roots and full sun 
or part shade for the tops. Shade can be provided for 
the roots by planting on the north or east side of a 
bushy shrub or by erecting a sun-shield of shingles 
near the base of the plants. Care must be taken in 
planting and tying. New stems are slender and brittle. 
Clematis supports itself by means of tendrils that twist 
readily about a wire or string.
