Dreer's 



Cardinal Climber 



(Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) 



We introduced this sensational novelty 

 last year, and wherever grown it has created 

 a furore. No plant in our trial grounds the 

 past season was so much admired. We 

 consider it the most beautiful, brilliant and 

 distinct annual climber ever introduced. It 

 is a strong and rapid grower, attaining a 

 height of 30 feet or more, with beautiful, 

 deeply lacinated, fern-like foliage, and lit- 

 erally covered with a blaze of circular, fiery, 

 cardinal-red flowers from mid-July till frost. 

 The flowers are about \ J / 2 inches in dia- 

 meter, and are borne in clusters of five to 

 seven blooms each. We feel sure that it 

 will become one of the indispensable annual 

 climbers of the future. 



Like other Ipomoeas, it delights in a 

 warm, sunny situation and good soil. Seeds 

 may be started indoors in March or April, 

 but it is best to wait until the weather gets 

 warm and settled and then sow out of doors. 

 If sown in cold, wet ground, the seeds will 

 rot. 25c per pkt., 5 pkts. for #1.00.
