Imperial J a p a ii e s e. 



Wherever climbers can be grown 

 these should have a prominent 

 place. They are beyond question 

 the handsomest of a hand>onie 

 family, and well deserve their title 



of " Imperial " or " Em- 

 peror " 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 ac- 

 count 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 inteimediate shades, 

 such as pink, rose, fiery-red, copper-red, carmine, crimson, pale-blue, deep- 

 blue, roval-purple, maroon, indigo, bronze, slate, brown, cherry, ash-gray, 

 etc., others are edged with white, having throats of one of the above colors, 

 while in others this is reversed, the throats being white and the edging of 

 color; there is also an endless number having flowers spotted, marbled, striped, 

 flaked, splashed, etc. perpkt.
