imperial Japanese Morning Glories. 



These are the greatest improvement that it is possible to imagine 

 in the common Morning Glory. Mot only are the flowers of greatly 

 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 with white or golden yellow, while other plants have 

 leaves of different types 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 glow- 

 ing 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
