Imperial Japanese. Wherever climbers can be grown these should 

 have a prominent place. They are beyond qaeslif)n the handsomest 

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

 ground in a sunny situation when the weather has become warm and 

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

 and even before flowering are decidedly novel and interesting on account 

 of the varied forms of the foliage and their markings. The 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 from snow-white to black-purple, with all the possible intermedi- 

 ate shades; there is also an endless number having flowers spotted, 

 marbled, striped, flaked, splashed, etc. per pkt.
