ing. It is by no means a complete 
listing of our stock and inquiries 
are invited on varieties not listed 
herein. 
olorpul Vines. 
Flowering and foliage vines for cover- 
ing walls, trellis or ground. Priced ac- 
cording to size and variety. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER 
Ampelopsis quinquefolia. A favorite vine 
for clinging to walls. Leaves with 5 
finger-like divisions which turn bright 
scarlet in fall. Extremely hardy. 
BOSTON IVY 
Ampelopsis veitchi. Leaves smaller and 
set close together making a rich light 
green cover to walls, especially with 
north exposure. Bright color in fall. 
QUEENS WREATH 
Antigonon leptopus. Called by various 
names including Rosa de Montana. This 
is one of the best vines for hot, dry sec- 
tions. Makes rapid growth and quanti- 
ties of rose-pink flowers in summer. Dies 
down in winter. 
EASTER LILY VINE 
Beaumontia grandiflora. For frost free 
areas or protected places. Not too large 
and rampant, does well on trellis where 
it shows flowers about size and shape of 
Easter Lilies. White.

ous climbing vine with rich green foli- 
age and showy clusters of brilliant red 
flowers. The outside of tubes is a soft 
yellow showing lilac shadings.

Vine. For sun or shade, where it covers 
fences, stumps, or on a trellis it be- 
comes a lovely show of lavender 
veined trumpets each spring. Not 
coarse. Hardy. 
BOUGAINVILLEA 
When planting Bougainvillea cut bottom 
out of can and plant can and all. They 
resent disturbance of the roots, which 
might kill the plant. 
Bougainvillea Barbara Karst. An im- 
provement over Crimson Lake, which 
was the best red variety. This one is a 
very consistent bloomer even while 
plants are quite young. 
Bougainvillea braziliensis. Hardiest of 
the lot with showy masses of rosy-purple 
flowers most of the year but especially 
effective in winter and spring. 
Bougainvillea Crimson Lake. A spectacu- 
lar brilliant crimson variety bearing 
masses of reddish-purplish flowers. 
Needs full sun and a protected location 
in winter. 
Bougainvillea San Diego. One of the most 
vigorous and fastest growing Bougain- 
villeas, spectacular not only because of 
the brilliant mass of crimson blooms but 
also because of their quantity and sizes.

Cissus rhombifolia. An attractive foliage 
vine for shady places or as an indoor 
specimen. Leaves rich deep green with 
three leaflets. 
Cissus hypoglauca. A glossy-leaved 
creeper with informal rambling or climb- 
ing habit that will spread over any ob- 
ject in a short time. Very beautiful in 
winter as well as in summer. 
CLEMATIS 
Clematis are woody, deciduous climb- 
ing vines of dense but loose foliage 
and with single, generously produced 
petal-like flowers. Their flat, wide 
open appearance has a_ particular 
charm, while their colors span many 
shades from light blue to deep maroon.
