BOUGAINVILLEAS 
The most brilliant and popular flower- 
ing tropical, of both vine and brush types. 
These plants make beautiful easily grown 
spicimens when planted out in the South 
as well as having the advantage of being 
good pot plants for growing in green- 
house or home, as they will bloom even 
as small plants in pots. Bougainvilleas 
are easy to grow if given well drained 
soil and a sunny location. Care should 
be taken in transplanting so as not to 
disturb its fine hair-like roots. Fertilizer 
and water should be given liberally dur- 
ing the summer months with no fertiliz- 
er after September and only enough 
water to keep plant from wilting. This 
forces winter bloom. When blooming 
starts water should be increased again. 
Do not fertilize until bloom is over. The 
lovely dense green foliage and huge 
clusters of showy floral bracts, available 
in many colors, make this plant a must 
for all lovers of Blooming Plants. 
In answer to your questions as _ to 
whether Bougainvilleas can be grown 
successfully indoors here is an excerpt 
from a letter from one of our customers. 
“For ten years now I have had a red 
Bougainvillea growing in the house. Since 
the plant does receive less light than 
outdoors the blossoms are a_ beautiful 
shade of pink. The plant climbs all over 
the curtains in the bay window and does 
nicely though I have trimmed it quite 
severely at times.” Mrs. E. P., Lennox, 
Michigan.
