Charming plants for the decoration of the greenhouse or dinner table, 

 producing their bright waxy-looking flowers profusely and almost contin-

IPOMCEA. 



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

 walls, trellises, arbors, or stumps of trees, they are invaluable. 



Imperial Japanese. Wherever climbers can be grown these should 

 have a prominent place. They are beyond question 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 foli- 

 age and their markings. The flowers are of gigantic size, of good substance, 

 remaining open the greater part of the day. The colorings are beyond descrip- 

 tion ; the self or solid colors range from snow white to black-purple, with 

 all the possible intermediate shades; there is also an endless number having 

 flowers spotted, marbled, striped, flaked, splashed etc.
