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 rich green 

 leaves, others silvery gray, 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 measuring from 3 to 5 inches across. The col- 

 ors of the flowers 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 beautiful 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 gar- 

 den, and water plentifully during dry weather.
