VINES 
Who wants an old vine? Or a young 
one even. Of course if you insist, I can 
furnish that exquisite STEPHANOTIS 
FLORIBUNDA with its waxy white flow- 
ers at $5, but why bother? Or maybe 
you like those magnificent pink sprays of 
CONGEA TOMENTOSA to the tune of 
$5. While the supply lasts you can have 
BIGNONIA VIOLACEA with its lovely 
paired purple trumpet flowers, for $2, 
but if you call it by the new name botan- 
ists have given it (Clytcstoma) the price 
is higher. There is nothing lovelier than 
the QUEEN’S WREATH (Petrea volu- 
bilis) which I have at $2 and $3, depend- 
ing on size; if you wait till next year it 
will be $4. And if you want a big show, 
try COMBRETUM G RANDIFLORUM 
with its brushy red flowers; it’s $2 and $3, 
depending on size. (The $2 ones are 
just as big as the $3, so hurry.) But why 
plant vines when you can grow TREES? 
Read the rest of this list and forget about 
vines. I even give them away, especially 
that gorgeous BIG NONIA MAGNIFICA.
