VOL. II 
Bougainvillea Glabra Sanderiana 
BOUGAINVILLEA. Probably the most widely planted 
and most handsome ornamental vine used in Florida. 
Rampant, tall grower with alternate stalked leaves and all 
the color coming from the large showy bracts grouped in 
clusters of three around the small, inconspicuous flowers 
(note illustration above). Bougainvilleas thrive in any ordi- 
nary garden soil, and require less watering than many other 
plants, since they are deep-rooted. 
FLORIDA NURSERY AND LANDSCAPE CO. offers 
sturdy, well grown plants in a number of colors: 
B. AFTERGLOW. Small yellowish-orange flowers sur- 
rounded by attractive yellowish-orange bracts. Good 
bloomer. 
B. BARBARA KARST. Vigorous growing, heavy branch- 
ing variety. Large crimson bracts make this a particularly 
colorful vine. 
B. CRIMSON LAKE. Vigorous grower with dark green 
foliage and brilliant crimson bracts. One of the favorites. 
B. GLABRA SANDERIANA. One of the heaviest bloom- 
ers; glossy green foliage and magenta-purple flower bracts. 
Priced Only $1.00 up.
