GELSEMIUM SEMPERVIRENS (Carolina Jasmine) 
Vines should be considered in all plantings, some for their foliage 
and others for their exquisite bloom. There are vines that will 
cling to masonry and wood without any additional support such as 
Ampelopsis, Ficus and English Ivy. Others are dependent on trellis 
work on which they will naturally twine — Cissus, Honeysuckle, 
Bignonia and many others. They are extremely valuable to add 
interest to blank walls, to provide shade on arbors and summer 
houses, others to cover fences and walls. Many have useful and 
colorful bloom. All are hardy unless indicated. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER 
Ampelopsis quinquefolia, Virginia Creeper. Large five fingered 
leaves turning intensely scarlet in fall. Rapid climber, clinging to 
walls, very hardy, therefore useful in the mountains. Very hardy 
and deciduous. Gal. $1.00. 
BOSTON IVY 
Ampelopsis veitchi, Boston Ivy. Clings to any rough surface with- 
out help, covering large areas with delicate light green foliage, 
which in falls turns many brilliant hues of red. Very hardy and 
deciduous. Gal. $1.00. 
TRUMPET VINES 
Strong, rapid growing evergreen climbing vines useful in many 
places for their ability to cover large areas and for the showy 
trumpet-shaped bloom. Will stand temperatures to about 25°.

ing vine with deep green glossy evergreen foliage and large clus- 
ters of 4-inch trumpets; bright red with yellow throat and tints

BOUGAINVILLEA 
No vine is more typical of California than Bougainvillea with its 
lavish display of color, from the dry desert regions to the sea coast, 
on Spanish type houses and over walls and fences. In planting be 
careful not to break ball of soil when removing from containers. 
This injury may cause them to die. We suggest cutting off the 
bottom of the container and planting with the side intact, allowing 
the metal to rust away. Otherwise they are free and rapid growers. 
Tender, particularly new growth. 
All Bougainvilleas: $1.50 and up 
Bougainvillea San Diego Red. Vigorous growing vine with brick 
red flowers. Slow to bloom but after planting quickly makes a

pleasing color produced in quantity most of the year, heaviest show 
in winter and spring. Hardiest of all. Sun. 25°. 
Bougainvillea Crimson Lake. Rich bright deep crimson flowers most 
of the year. Very popular variety. Vigorous but fairly tender. Full 
sui, 20°.

foliage and with single petal-like flowers, where flat, wide open 
appearance has a peculiar charm.
