California-Grown Vi N ES 
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 depend- 
ent 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 or arbors and summer houses, others to cover fences and walls. Many

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 sug- 
gest 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. 
Bougainvilleas: Gal. $2.00; 
5 Gal. $5.00 and up

gainvillea. The large, brilliant red flower-
