Imperial Japanese Morning Glories. 



Soak Seeds for 12 hours in warm water, or scrape off the outer.shell at one of the 

 ends before sowing, to aid in germination. 



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 30 feet. Some have rfqh green leaves, others silvery 

 gray, while many are spotted, striped and mottled in a most quaint and beautiful manner. It is in the flow, 

 ers, however, that we find the most enchanting sight possible to be found in any of our climbing plants. 



They are of gigantic size, often 

 measuring from 3 to 5 inches 

 across. The colors of the flow- 

 ers are almost 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 gray whites. Many 

 are beautifully striped and 

 splashed, while some have beau- 

 tiful zones around the outside 

 edges of the flowers. They are 

 of the easiest culture and make 

 a magnificent display around 

 verandas, arbors, trellises, etc., 

 or they can be grown with grand 

 effect on poles In the manner of 

 Lima Beans. Sow early in a 

 good rich soil, in the sunniest 

 spot you have in your garden, 

 and water plentifully during dry 

 weather.
