EXQUISITE /MEW COLOHS. 



MAG/MI FieE/MT FOLIAGE. 



The vines of this new race of Iponiicas are of slronp; and 

 i-obust Krowth, attaining- a height of from thirty to h ty feet 

 The foliage is most luxuriant, distinct and varied some 

 vines liavlrieh vivid green leaves, «t>>'^'« ^^''^'^ «''^'!,^y '^' tTed" 

 some with yellow leaves, and many produce leaves mottled 

 Ind checkered like rich mosaics of light and dark green, 



'^'''Butthe^s''nrp..ssing charm of these Imperial Japanese 

 Morninsr Glories lies in the entrancing beauty and gigantic 

 size of the flowers; they measure from four to six inches 

 across, and their greater substance causes them to reman 

 open much longer than ordinary Morning Glories. The 

 colors of the flowers, shadings and markings are limitless, 

 and are really wonders of nature, of such incomparable 

 beauty that descriptions are inadequate. Some flowers are 

 of deeo rich velvety tones, others more daintily tinted and 

 Bhaded'^thau an artist's brush could portray. The solid colors 

 rana-e through reds from soft rose to crimson, bronze and 

 ™t maroon: from daintiest light blue to ultramarine 

 indigo and blackish purple; from snow white to cream and 

 silver grav; some are striped, starred and spotted; others 

 have magniflcent edges and throats. We especially noted a 

 royal pin pie with broad white edjie and a red throat, a blue 

 with pink throat, a white flushed pink and a wine-red throat 

 a crimson with white throat, a carmine with white edge and 

 red shaded throat, a claret purple with snow-white throat, 

 coppercolor with white throat, etc., etc. * . ^ „„„„ 



The double flowering sorts are superb and must be seen 

 to be appreciated to their full value.
