 Imperial Japanese. Wherever climbers can be grown these 

 should have a prominent place. They are beyond question the hand- 

 somest of all Morning Glories. Of the easiest culture; can be sown 

 in the open ground in a sunny situatinn when the weather has become 

 vtarm and settled ; they soon cover a large area, being of strong, rapid

 flowers are of gigantic size, of good substance, remaining open the 

 greater part of the day. The colorings are beyond description ; the 

 self or solid colors range Irom snow-white to black-purple, with all 

 the possible intermediate shades; there is also an endless number hav- 

 ing flowers sjiotied, marliled, striped, flaked, splashed, etc. per pkt.
