IMPERIAL JAPANESE MORNING GLORY. 
MORNING GLORY. 
Imperial Japanese. 
The charm of these ‘“‘Imperial Japanese Morning Glories” lies 
in the beauty and gigantic size of the flowers, which measure from 
4 to 6 inches across, and their greater substance causes them to 
remain open longer than ordinary morning glories. The colors of 
the flowers, shadings and markings are limitless; some are of a deep, 
rich velvety tone, others daintily tinted and shaded. The solid colors 
range through red, from soft rose to blackish purple, from snow- 
white to cream and silver gray ; some are striped starred and spot- 
ted ; others have magnificent edges and throats. The vines are of 
strong and robust growth, attaining a height of 30 to 50 feet. The 
foliage is luxuriant, distinct and varied ; some vines have rich, vivid 
green leaves, others silvery, yellow, and others mottled light and 
dark green, white and gray. The intermingling vines and contrast- 
ing leaves form a very effective contrast. If you have been inclined 
to look upon morning glories as too common, give this new class a 
trial, and we are sure you will be repaid for your trouble, and secure 
a climber of more than ordinary attraction. Per pkg., 15 cts.; 
2 pkgs., 25 cts. 
Double Flowering. 
This is the first Double Flowering Morning Glory to be 
introduced and we have no doubt that the many admirers of the 
single flowering sorts will readily give a place to this new variety. 
The yines make as rapid growth and dense foliage as the single 
varieties. Flowers are white with a spot of red or blue at the base 
- of the larger petals. About 80 per cent. of the seedlings come true 
from seed. We are sure the number of hardy climbing annuals is 
not so great that this new Double Morning Glory will not gain 
a prominent position. Price per packet, 10 cts. 
NOVELTIES AND SPLCIALTIES FOR 1 
PANSY. _ 
Elliott’s Blended. 
_ AInintroducing this special Pansy mixture, we have in view 
ticularly the demands of our extensive florists’ trade who require 
greatest variety in colors as well as flowers of the largest size 
fully satisfy their customers they have found it necessary to pur 
nearly all the different mixtures of this flower offered in seed ¢é: 
logues as well as a number of kinds in separate colors. It was g 
erally admitted to be almost impossible to secure all shades anc 
colors in proper proportion in most Pansy mixtures as ordinarily 
sold. For this reason, with a view to supplying such a mixture, we 
were induced to prepare our ‘‘Blended ” strain, and our increasing 
demand since introduced, both from florists and amateurs, has proven 
the need of such a special mixture, and the value of it as put up: by 
us. We positively claim ‘‘ Elliot’s Blended” to be not only the 
best but most admired. It constains the choicest strains of Pansies 
grown in this country and in Europe. All the newest shades and — 
richest colors are included, and for beauty and variety of color, size 
& Havers and perfection of form it is unsurpassed. Price per packet, —
