PETE$ HE^tDH^SO^ & CO., fiEW YO$^— FliOWES SEEDS. 



Tie Brazilian Morning' Glory. (IpomozaSetosa.) Magnificent summer climbing 

 annual. It grows with the greatest vigor and luxuriance, branching and climbing 

 in all directions. The leaves are 8 to 12 inches across and are borne from the 

 ground up, overlapping each other and making a dense shade. Every part of the 

 vine is thickly covered with short reddish hairs which, with its immense leaves 

 and large clusters of curious seed capsules, render it highly ornamental and give 

 it quite a tropical appearance. We know of nothing so good for quickly covering 

 a piazza, arbor or tree, and where a dense shade is required it has no equal. The 

 flowers, which open in the morning, are three inches or more across, of a beauti- 

 ful rose color, and are borne in large clusters very freely from Julv to 

 frost Pkt. 15

 Lobata. The foliage is very large, heart-shaped ; flowers 4 to 5 inches across in 

 large clusters, and of that indescribable light blue with a yellow throat suffusing 

 softly into blue. This climber is so completely covered with bloom as to almost 



cover the foliage. It is also a splendid conservatory climber 20
