We introduced these grand climbers and they have proved a revelation to many. The robust 

 vines attain a height of from thirty to fifty feet. The foliage is luxuriant, distinct and varied, 

 green, silvery and yellow leaves; many are mottled light and dark green, white and gray. 



But the surpassing charm of these "Imperial Japanese Morning Glories" lies in the entrancing 

 beauty and gigantic size of the flowers ; they measure from four to five inches across. The colors of 

 the flowers, shadings and markings are limitless. Some flowers are of deep, rich velvety colors, 

 others daintily tinted and shaded. There are reds from soft rose to crimson and garnet ; daintiest 

 blue to purple; snow-white to silver-gray. Some are striped, blotched and spotted; others have 

 magnificent edges and throats. (See cut.) Mixed Colors, per packet, 10c; per 100 seeds, 25c.
