 A fragrant white variety of Morning- Glory opening at nightfall with 

 enormous white fragrant flowers that open so rapidly that their un-

MORNING-GLORY (Ipomea purpurea, var. alba). 8-12 ft. A lovely 

 variety of this favorite flower. It needs a rich moist soil and the seed- 

 vessels should be removed as fast as they are formed. If planted on 

 the west or north side of a building where the morning sun cannot strike 

 it until noon or later, the flowers will keep open until the sun reaches 

 them. July to October.

 involucre, succeeded by inflated seed-pods. It is particularly beautiful 

 in a sky-blue variety. It grows in any good soil and is slightly self- 

 sowing. For early flowering sow in autumn. July and August.
