DREER'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS.

Imperial Japanese Ipomoeas 



or Emperor Morning Glories. 



Wherever climbers can be grown these should have a prominent place. They are 

 beyond question the handsomest of a handsome family, and well deserve their title 

 of "Imperial" or "Emperor" 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 •.oliage 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 

 intermediate shades, such as pink, rose, fiery -red, copper-red, carmine, crimson, pale- 

 blue, deep-blue, royal-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. 

 We offer the following distinct and desirable varieties :
