California-Grown V 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—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 
have useful and colorful bloom. All are hardy unless indicated. 
When you plant your garden, consult our 
helpful ““WHAT AND WHERE TO PLANT” 
chart on page 11. 
Scarlet Trumpet Bignonia Cherere 
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; 
Specimen plants at $5.00 and up. 
Bougainvillea Barbara Karst. This variety 
produces more blooms than any other bou- 
gainvillea. The large, brilliant red flower- 
bracts are produced in massive clusters most 
of the year. 
Bougainvillea braziliensis. 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- 
der, 28°.

needing little care. Useful for pot culture 
indoors, in pots and shade houses. Sun or

Hedera canariensis, Algerian Ivy. Particularly 
adapted to warm climates. Dark green, un-

terns. A nice vine to use against dark walls
