New Yellow Ipomea 
Chrysantha 
A magnificent variety from Fernando Po, which has blossomed for us the first time this season. 
It is the most luxurious and rapid growing vine we have eyer seen, sending out numerous branches 
15 to 20 feet long, bearing at the axils of the leaves, clusters of bright, golden yellow flowers, con- 
volvolus in shape, measuring 24% to 3 inches across. The foliage is very handsome, the leaves 
being deeply divided into seven lobes The largest at the base of the branches measure nine inches 
across, while many are about one-half that size. It is a rare and unusua! climber, very orna- 
mental and useful even without the flowers. Seeds 15¢e per pkt. Cannot supply this until April 
1905. 
Dessecta 
A very rampant grower, native of India. The leaves are large and finely cut, dark green in 
color, shaped very much like the old rose geranium The flowers are rather small, 144 inches 
across, white, with pink throat; the seed vessels are large and shiny, so that they look almost like 
plums ata distance. Seeds 15c pkt.
