 imagine in the common, Morning Glory. Not only are the flowers 

 of greatlv increased size and most distinct colorings, but the foliage 

 is also wonderfully varied and attractive. See illustration of one 

 type. The large leaves come in many distinct forms; in some 

 cases the leaves are heavily marbled witTi white or golden yellow, 

 while other plants have leaves of different tj'pes of a clear golden 

 yellow. Our choice mixed strain embraces nearly thirty distinct 

 shades and colorings, flowers ranging from deep rich purple to 

 pure .silvery white. In many the flowers are beautifully bordered 

 in contrasting shades, while in others the coloring is diversified 

 by rich tigered markings and spots of glowing color in the widely 

 open throat as well as on the flaring corolla. Especially distinct 

 are the shades of cinnamon-brown and faint creamy yellow. Pkt. ,
