VINES and CLIMBERS 
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. 
BOUGAINVILLEA 
No vine is more typical of California than 
Bougainvillea with its lavish display of color, 
from the dry desert regions to the seacoast, 
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 up 
Bougainvillea, Barbara Karst. Compact bushy 
vines of medium growth being a most con- 
sistent bloomer, even when quite young. The 
color is slightly lighter than Crimson Lake but 
very pleasing. 
Bougainvillea brasiliensis. Large showy rosy- 
purple flowers of a pleasing color produced 
in quantity most of the year, heaviest show in 
winter and spring. Hardiest of all. Sun. 25°. 
Bougainvillea San Diego Red. Vigorous grow- 
ing vine with brick red flowers. Slow to bloom 
but after planting quickly makes a_ rapid 
growth and becomes very floriferous. Ten- 
detzeo Uc. 
Bougainvillea Texas Dawn (P.A.F.). A mar- 
velous new variety combining the grace and 
brightness common to all bougainvilleas with 
two special virtues of its own. One is the un- 
usual size of the flower clusters, and the other 
is the unique color—a light, bright Tyrian 
rose, 
CLEMATIS RAMONA 
CREEPING FIGS 
Ficus repens. Wonderful rich green, large 
oval leaves. Hardy, vigorous growth. Clings 
closely to walls. Gal. $1.25. 
IVIES 
All Ivies: Gal. $1.25; Flats $7.50 up 
Hedera canariensis, Algerian Ivy. Large, green 
leaves and vigorous, rampant growth make 
this an excellent vine for ground cover, climb- 
ing on fences, or trained on porch posts. 
Hedera canariensis variegata, Variegated Al- 
gerian Ivy. The green leaves are variegated 
with white in many interesting patterns. A 
nice vine to use against dark walls where the 
white and green make a lively combination. 
Hedera helix, English Ivy. English Ivy makes 
a delightful ground cover of glossy dark green 
leaves. It is useful to train over a wire fence 
whence it makes a dense impenetrable hedge 
needing little care. Useful for pot culture in- 
doors, in patios and shade houses. Sun or 
shade. 
Hedera Hahn’s Branching. Excellent small- 
leaved variety particularly suited for window 
boxes or pot culture.
