Latifolius. (Hardy or Everlasting Sweet Peas.) Hardy 

 climbers, growing 6 to 8 feet high when trained on a 

 trellis; the flowers are borne in large clusters. One 

 of the hardiest and most easily cultivated of plants. 

 The long, leathery roots penetrate to a great depth, 

 rendering these plants peculiarly adapted to rough 

 places, to scramble over rocks and bushes. (See cut.)

rPOJKEA GBANDIFLORA (THE "MOON FLO WEB " VISE).

Eapid-growing summer climbers, among our prettiest 

 for covering trellises, pillars, etc. Most rapid and luxu- 

 riant for warm, sunny situations in the garden during 

 the summer. Large, beautiful flowers. (See cut.) 



THE MOON PLOWEB— White-seeded (Impomcea 

 grandijlora). No one who has a trellis or arbor to cover 

 should neglect to plant The Moon Flower— the most 

 rapid -growing of all annual climbing vines. The vines 

 are literally covered with thousands of immense, 

 pure white fragrant flowers, opening in the evening and 

 remaining open until noon the following day. and if 

 cloudy, all day, many of them measuring over seven 

 inches across. Planted in rich ground, in a sunny sit- 

 uation, and given plentv of water, the vines attain a 

 height of seventy-five feet Pkt. 10 



Cross-bred, or Hybrid Moon Flower. This va- 

 riety is of great value for the North, as it is in full 

 bloom fully one month before the White-seeded. Foliage and 

 flowers vary in form on different plants, some flowers 

 being scalloped, others perfectly round, others star- 

 shaped ; the foliage also varies from the original shape 

 to oak-leaved and heart-shaped forms. The flowers, 

 though smaller, yet measure four to sis inches across, 

 and are very numerous 10

Coccinea. (Star Ipomcea.) Scarlet flowers 6 



Limbata. Violet, edged white, rose throat 5 



"Heavenly Blue." Flowers i to 6 inches across, in 

 large clusters, of light blue with a yellow throat. This 

 climber is so completely covered with bloom as to 

 almost cover the foliage. It is also a splendid conserva- 

 tory climber 15 



Leari. " The Blue Dawn Flower." Although this does 

 wonderfully well outside in the summer, yet it is general- 

 ly grown as a greenhouse climber, and it is most beauti- 

 ful, bearing clusters of the most lovely sky-blue flowers 

 imaginable, and measure fully 5 to 6 inches across. . . 25 



The Brazilian Morning 1 Glory. (Ipomosa Setosa.) 

 Magnificent summer climbing annual. It grows with 

 the greatest vigor and luxuriance. The leaves are 8 to 

 12 inches across, overlapping each other and making a 

 dense shade. The vine is covered with short reddish 

 hairs which, with its immense leaves and large clusters 

 of curious seed capsules, render it highly ornamental. 

 We know of nothing so good for quickly covering a 

 piazza, arbor or tree. The flowers are of a beautiful 

 rose color, and are borne in large clusters 10 



" The Noonday Glory. " (Ipomo;a sinuata) A lovely 

 and graceful climber. The vines are slender. The 

 leaves are deeply cleft and cut. The flowers are open, 

 bell-shaped, borne in clusters; color, pure white, with 

 wine-red throats. They open at sunrise and close at 

 sunset, and are followed by very ornamental seed cap- 

 sules. Although a tender perennial vine, yet it will 

 bloom the first season from seed, if started early. The 

 seeds should be soaked in warm water until they swell before 

 sowing 10
