IPOMCEA. 



Climbers of rapid growth, with beautiful and varied flowers; for 

 covering old walls, trellises, arbors, or stumps of trees, they are in- 

 valuable. 



Imperial J'ai>aiiese. Wherever climbers can be grown these 

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

 somest of a handsome family, and well deserve their title of " Im- 

 perial" 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 ar.d 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. '1 he flowers are of gigantic size, of good substance, remain- 

 ing open the greater part of the day. The colorings are beyond de- 

 scription ; the self or sold 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, whde 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. per pkt.

 that ought to be more generally grown, if 

 only for cut-flower purposes. The rays of 

 the flower-heads are bright yellow, with 

 white tips. The head is as broad as that 

 of a Marguerite, but is more bulky, while 

 the rays are wider, and touch one another 

 closely all around. A bed or mass of this 

 annual produces a fine effect, owing to the 

 quantity of liloom 6
