The Cardinal Climber 



Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) 



2158 We named and introduced this glorious and absolutely distinct annual 

 climber and it is generally considered the most beautiful and brilliant 

 annual climber ever sent out. It is a strong and rapid grower, attaining 

 a height of 30 feet or more, with beautiful fern-like foliage, and literally 

 covered with a blaze of circular cardinal-red flowers from mid-summer 

 till frost. The flowers, about 1| inches in diameter, are borne in clusters 

 of 5 to 7 each. Like other Ipomoeas, it delights in a warm, sunny situ- 

 ation and good soil. The seed may be started indoors in March or 

 April, in a temperature of not less than 70 degrees, but it is just as well 

 to wait until the weather gets warm and settled and then sow out of 

 doors. Packets containing about 25 seeds each, 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
