 OF NEW IMPROVED MORNING GLORIES 



(Shown in colors on Page 58^ 



Start the day right with a thrilling smile irom the World s most beautiful Morning Glories 

 In this group we have combined the three most beautiful Morning Glories (Ipomoeas) in 

 cultivation. They are all of easy culture and flower throughout the entire summer 



The Famous Red Morning Glory Scarlett O'Hara. 



2499 This Morning Glory is entirely distinct from any other on the market. It is quite early 

 to bloom, a camelian-red, sometimes called carmine, self color, is of medium size, about 

 three and a half inches across, blooms until frost and stays open longer than others. Blooms 

 are found open even in afternoons. Foliage is quite distinct, each leaf with one large and 

 two small side lobes Per 100 seeds, 50c; pkt., 25c 



The Loveliest White Morning Glory. Ipomoea Pearly Gates. 



2503 This new variety of Ipomoea received the most votes of any of the 1942 candidates 

 for All- American Honors. It is a sport of the popular Clark's Early Heavenly Blue Ipomoea, 

 and is a grand companion to it. The flowers are large, averaging about 4 inches across, 

 and are pure white with creamy shading in the throat. Unlike most other varieties of Ipomoea. 

 this one has a tendency to keep on blooming throughout the entire day. It attains a height 

 of about 12 feet, and its foliage is extremely luxuriant Per 100 seeds, 50c; pkt., 25c 



2498 Clark's Earliest Heavenly Blue Morning Glory. This is the earliest flowering variety, 

 making a sparse growth of foliage, heavily covered with skyblue flowers, with a golden 

 throat. Seed should be sown in the late Spring in a dry, sandy location or can be started 

 early indoors and seedlings transplanted. For covering a fence or trellis it is ideal. 



Per 100 seeds. 50c; pkt., 25c 

 2521 Special offer: one packet each of Red, White and Blue Morning Glories, 60c. 



HENDERSON'S NEW IPOMOEAS 



GREATER GLOMES (A) 



Largest and Most Beautiful 

 Morning Glories 



The selection, segregation, and hybridiza- 

 tion of thousands of the most desirable and 

 most beautiful flowers obtained from the 

 finest strains of Imperial Hybrid Ipomoeas, 

 over a period of six years, resulted in the 

 development of a great number of hybrids, 

 many of which possessed outstanding char- 

 acteristics. Through the process of elimina- 

 tion, the six varieties offered here were 

 finally chosen as the most representative, 

 and the most beautiful of the group. 



Besides producing a luxuriant growth, 

 which during the course of the season at- 

 tains a height of from 15 to 20 feet, the plants 

 are extremely free blooming, and as is un- 

 usual ■with other varieties of Ipomoea, the 

 flowers, which range from four to five inches 

 in diameter, are developed over the entire 

 plant, beginning about a foot from the 

 ground. 



The plants are clothed from top to bottom 

 with attractive three-lobed leaves, which 

 adds much to their beauty. Henderson's 

 Greater Glories are among the most desir- 

 able annual vines that may grace the Gar- 

 dens of America. Wherever plant material 

 is required for drapes or for screening pur- 

 poses, nothing finer could be desired. For 

 garden enclosures, they will make a wall of 

 living beauty that will be a joy throughout 

 the summer. They can be used for covering 

 fences of every description, also stone walls, 

 dead trees, poles, etc.
