CAMPSIS grandiflora (Bignonia grandiflora (7) 
CHINESE TRUMPETCREEPER 
Better known as Bignonia chinensis or B. grandiflo- 
ra. It is easily one of the handsomest deciduous 
climbers where it is sufficiently hardy. It is not ram- 
pant so not likely to get much more than 10 feet 
tall. For several weeks in summer it covers itself 
with great terminal sprays of large funnel-shaped 
yellowish flowers suffused at tips with orange red.

While the common Trumpet Vine (Tecoma radi- 
cans) is practically a weed, its marriage to C. gran- 
diflora resulted in this gorgeous hybrid which com- 
bines the hardiness of the former with the beauty 
of the latter. It is a stronger grower than C. grandi- 
flora but much less rampant than T. radicans. The 
flowers which also are borne in large clusters at end 
of shoots are almost as large as those of C. grandi- 
flora and much redder. It blooms all summer and 
when in full bloom is a solid mass of flowers. It is 
really a particular clon of the hybrid C. tagliabuana. 
We quote from a Bulletin of Arnold Arboretum: 
“While it is occasionally seen in eastern gardens, it is 
almost unknown in the middle west, where Trum- 
petcreepers grow unusually well. It is a splendid or- 
namental vine and is deserving of far wider recog- 
nition in American gardens.” Anticipating a heavy 
demand we have worked up a large stock of field 
grown grafted plants and hope to be able to fill all 
orders.
