CONVOLVULUS. 



PER PKT. 



One of the handsomest and most popular annuals in cultivation, growing freely in almost 

 any situation. The climbing varieties, G. aureus superbus and G. majcrr, or Morning 

 Glory, produce a fine effect when grown on rock-work, stumps of trees, or banks, and 

 when trained over trellises, rustic-work, or rough fences, the beauty and delicacy of their 

 colors are unsurpassed. G. minor and its varieties are admirably adapted for beds and 

 mixed borders. Half-hardy Annuals.
