_ Glories- 



We ask special attention to 

 our Grand Japanese Imperial 

 Morning Glories, which are 

 among- the quickest growing 

 and most satisfactory climbing 

 vines you can possibly have for 

 porches, fences trellises, etc. 

 They are entirely different from 

 the common morning glories, 

 and vastly more beautiful. The 

 flowers are very large, 4 to 5 

 inches across, and of many bril- 

 liant colors, including the finest 

 shades of Red, Crimson, Maroon, 

 and Indigo Blue, also Royal Pur- 

 ple, White, Cream, Drab and 

 Gray. Some flowers are in rich 

 solid colors, others are wonder- 

 fully variegated, marbled and 

 mottled — yellow, white and 

 green. We import our seed 

 direct from Japan, where it is 

 gathered from the most beauti- 

 hil flowers, including the Glori- 

 ous Fringed Varieties, which are 

 the most beautiful of all. They 

 are hardy and easily grown, and 

 bloom profusely early in the 

 season. Splendid for covering 

 screens, trellises, fences, etc.
