NEW IMPERIAL 
JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES. 



























Single and Double Mixed. 
These magnificent Japanese 
morning glories (iy seed is 
grown in Japan) continue in = 
wide and almost unbounded = 
popular favor. The color ef- E 
fects are striking and bril- " Maa aH 
liant, and the flower mark- ae ! oil 
ings quite as strange and AUN \| = 
peculiar as the illustrations fi\ ce 
indicate. They are entirely Kv} is | Ey 
distinct from common morn- ‘ : oe 



ing glories, embracing a far 
greater range of tint, color 
and marking, and are both 
single and double. Frequent- 
ly there are three or four col- 
ors in a single flower, while 
all have white, pink, crimson 
or lilac throats. The vines 
attain a length of twenty or 
thirty feet, though doing well 
on lower trellises or arbors. 
They branch freely and are

Ny distinctly ornamental. The | 
Si foliage is quite variable. | 
Ny Some varieties have plain 
green leaves, others leaves of 
bronze, while still others are 
SS blotched and variegated with 
Silver white or gray. They 
), NX are remarkably quick bloom- 
i~ N x ers, sometimes producing 
flowers within three weeks 
: from the planting of the seed. 
The seed should go into the ground as soon as the weather is warm. 
The surpassing feature of these New Imperial Japanese Morning 
Glories is the flower, which measures four or sometimes even six 
inches across, and which has more substance and durability than 
the common morning glory. Some flowers are of deep, rich, vel- 
vety tones. The solid colors range through the the reds, from soft 
rose to crimson, and thence to bronze and garnet; through the 
 — blues, from light blue to ultramarine, indigo and purple; and 
Wh Z YZ aN from snow white to cream and silver gray. Some are striped, 
Wi: starred and spotted; others have magnificent edges and throats. 
WN SS | can truly say that the Japanese morning glories are, by all 
WS odds, the grandest climbers ever offered, and that all of my custo- 
mers should include them in their seed orders. The single flowers 
are larger than the double ones, but the double flowers are, in 
some respects, most interesting. I offer both single and double in 
one grand mixture, thus insuring a fine display. Every packet 
contains the best sorts. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
