GOLDEN TRUMPET VINE 
Anemopaegma (Bignonia) chamberlayni. Without doubt 
the finest of the yellow Trumpets. Bright canary yellow 
flowers in late spring and early summer in such quantities 
as to almost cover the plant. Foliage is glistening, polished 
green. Loses some of its leaves in winter. Sun or part shade. 
Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.25. 
BOUGAINVILLEA 
Bougainvillea spectabilis Crimson Lake. In any sunny lo- 
cation that is not too cold in winter this Bougainvillea will 
provide shimmering masses of bright scarlet bloom through 
summer and fall and winter also if the nights are not too 
chilly. Planted against a wall or trellis the plant will quickly 
form a thick cover of interesting foliage. Should not be 
planted where heavy frosts are frequent. 5-gal. containers, 
$4.50; gal. containers, $1.50. 
EVERGREEN GRAPES 
Cissus capensis. Either in hot sun or part shade this vine 
spreads its bronzy green characteristic grape leaves rapidly 
and holds them throughout the year. Draped over walls or 
pergolas the striking foliage and thin branches of enormous 
black fruit are highly attractive. The fruit makes delicious 
jelly but, as Mother used to say, is “sour enough to make 
a pig squeal’. Hardy except in very cold spots. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Cissus hypoglauca. This variety, too, thrives in full sun 
or part shade. Its highly polished leaves, furry brown leaf 
stems and rapid growth make it, in our opinion, the most de- 
sirable of all Evergreen Grapes. Half hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
COLORFUL CLEMATIS 
While the large flowered Clematis are not as easily grown 
here as in colder regions, we have seen some very excellent 
specimens here. The varieties listed below carry exquisite 
single bloom to 3 inches across. Plants should be cut back 
nearly to the ground each winter. Sun or light shade and 
moist conditions. Hardy. Gal. containers, $1.50. 
Henry. Frosty white. Jackman. Purple. Ramona. Blue. 
VIOLET TRUMPET VINE 
Clytostoma callistegioides (Bignonia violacea). When in 
bloom this hardy climber is really an astonishing sight. The 
big dark violet trumpets, narrowly veined with red, present 
a colorful picture clustered against a background of glossy 
dark foliage. The plant grows less rapidly than most of the 
Trumpet Vines and may be confined in a smaller space. Will 
not freeze even in coldest areas. Sun or part shade. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
CAT CLAW 
Doxantha unguis-cati (Bignonia tweediana). And well 
named, too, for its tiny claws cling tenaciously to rough 
wood, stone or stucco, but not to a smooth painted surface. 
Its long thin airy branches will cover a large area quickly 
and thoroughly. In spring it is a perfect bouquet of big lemon 
yellow trumpets. And, which is highly important, it will not 
freeze. Prefers sun. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, 
$1.00. 



GELSEMIUM SEMPERVIRENS. Displays its scented 
yellow bloom from late winter until late spring. 
CLINGING FIG VINE 
Ficus pumila. The most satisfactory clinging evergreen 
vine for covering fireplace chimneys or any brick, stone, 
stucco or rough wood walls. The small bright green leaves 
and slender twigs appear neat through all seasons. Before 
planting cut vines back to about 4 inches. Sometimes is slow 
about starting but covers reasonably fast when well estab- 
lished. Hardy. Sun or shade. Gal. containers, 90c. 
CAROLINA JESSAMINE 
Gelsemium sempervirens. A remarkably clean foliaged vine 
from Central America. In some years, as early as December 
each slender twining branchlet is laden with small mildly 
fragrant trumpets of clear canary yellow. Continues to bloom 
well into April. Small bright leaves. Grows reasonably fast. 
Sun or part shade. Very hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 
HANDSOME EVERGREEN IVIES 
Hedera canariensis Yellowedge. Algerian Ivy. A hand- 
some vine from the Canary Islands that strings its huge lus- 
trous green, white edged leaves thickly along fast growing 
runners. An excellent cover for pergola or fence and as a 
ground cover in shaded or partly sunny locations it is highly 
effective. It may also be used to advantage in pots, either in 
the house or outside, and in window boxes. Grows more rap- 
idly than other ivies. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. 
containers, $1.00; flats of about 100 plants, $6.15. 
Hedera helix. English Ivy. Used extensively as a ground 
cover, also for fences, walls and chimneys. Sun or shade. 
Hardy. As a ground cover use 35 plants to 100 sq. ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00; flats of about 100 
plants, $6.15. 
Train a fragrant vine about one of your bedroom windows. 
A Star Jasmine or Giant Honeysuckle will do. Pleasant 
dreams! Vines suitable for sun or shade are listed on page 63.
