Imperial Japanese Morning Glories, 



'vr.During a visit to a customer's garden in our city we 

 were surprised and delighted at a strain of Morning Glories 

 which he had obtained from a friend in Japan. Indeed, 

 they were a revelation to us. The vines are strong and of 

 robust growth, attaining a height of 15 to 80 feet. Some 

 have rich, green leaves, others silvery grey, while many are 

 spotted, striped and mottled in a most quaint and beautiful 

 manner. It is in the flowers, however, that we find the 

 most enchanting sight possible to be found in any of our 

 climbing plants. They are of gigantic size, often measur- 

 ing 3 to 5 inches across. The colors of the flowers are al- 

 most indescribable, ranging from the palest shades of pink 

 or rose, down to deep red, maroon and purple, light azure 

 blues, to indigo, pure white and creamy or grey whites. 

 Many are beautifully striped and splashed, while some 

 have beautiful zones around the outside edges of the flow- 

 ers. They are of the easiest culture and make a magnifi- 

 cent display around verandas, arbors, trellises, etc., or they 

 can be grown with grand effect on poles in the manner of 

 Lima Beans. Sow eai*y in a good rich soil, in the sunniest 

 spot you have iu your garden, and water plentifully during 

 dry weather.
