MORNING GLORIES. 



New Imperial or Giant Japanese. 



These magnificent single and double Japanese Morning 

 Glories are entirely distinct from the common Morning Glories, 

 embracing a far greater range of delicate tints and richer colors. 

 There are often three or four colors in one flower, while all have 

 white, pink, crimson or lilac throats. 



Vines vigorous, climbing 20 to 30 feet. Foliage is hand- 

 some. Individual flowers measure 4 to 6 inches across, and 

 their greater substance cause them to remain open longer than 

 other varieties. Finest mixed colors. Pkt. 60 seeds 10c. 



MORNING GLORY— Buckbee's New Double. Novelty of my 

 own introduction. The most valuable novelty variety to-day. 

 Grows well, climbing 40 feet or more. The fine double flowers 

 eive the vines an attractiveness, which warrants their being 

 placed in any position. Pkt. 50 seeds 10c. 



MORNING GLORY— Improved Climbing. (Convolvulus 

 Major.) The most popular climber in cultivation. Of vigorous 

 and rapid growth, attaining a height of 15 to 20 feet. Our seed 

 is selected from best varieties only, and is a great improvement 

 over the old fashioned. Pkt. 50 seeds 3c; oz. 8c.

MAURANDIA. 



Graceful climber for greenhouse, parlor, baskets, or out-of- 

 door purposes. Set out in the border, with a little frame to which 

 to attach their tendrils, they will be loaded all the season with 

 rich purple, white and rose, fox-glove shaped blossoms. Quite 

 tender perennial climber, blooming first season. Grows 6 feet 

 high. Choicest kinds mixed. Pkt. 100 seeds Sc. 



MINA LOBATA. 



Half hardy Mexican climbing annual. The buds are at first 

 vivid red. but turn to orange yellow immediately before they 

 open, and when fully expanded the flowers are of a creamy 

 white shade. Pkt. 12 seeds 4c. 



MOMORDICA (Balsam Apple). 



A very curious annual climber, with yellow blossoms and 

 foliage similar to the canary bird flower. The fruit, the chief 

 curiosity, is egg and pear shaped, and covered with many 

 excrescences, and when ripe bursts suddenly open, scattering 

 its seed and showing a brilliant carmine interior. Fine for trel- 

 lises, fences, stumps, etc. Finest mixed. Pkt. 4c, 



MOONFLOWER. 



' New Cross-Bred or Hybrid Variety. 



Of great value for the north, as it is in full bloom one month 

 before the White Seeded. The flowers are 4 to 6 inches across, 

 and very numerous. The foliage is of 3 distinct types. This is 

 one of the most vigorous of all the summer climbers. Will grow 

 30 to 40 feet in a single season, and be covered with its large 

 white flowers every evening and cloudy day. Complaint is 

 sometimes made that the seed fails to grow satisfactorily. This 

 is entirely due to the method of treatment. If the hard outer 

 coat of seed is cut through with a sharp knife, and the seed 

 planted in a warm place and the 

 soil kept moist, germination 

 will take place in 10 days to 2 

 weeks. After the plants are up, 

 keep growing vigorously and 

 plant in rich Soil after frosts 

 are past. Pkt. 8c. 



MOONFLOWER, White Seeded. 



This is the variety most gen- 

 erally grown, being larger in 

 flower, firmer in texture and of 

 sweeter odor than the Black 

 Seeded variety, which we have 

 now discarded; the vines are 

 almost covered with thousands 

 of immense white flowers, many 

 of them measuring over 7 

 inches across. Pkt. 5c. 

 THUNBERGIA, or Black-Eyed 

 Susan. 



Very elegant and slender 

 growing climbers, rapidly cov- 

 ering wire trellises and also 

 useful for vases in the garden or 

 house. Can also be grown 

 without support, and one plant 

 will form a beautiful mat 

 8 to 4 feet in diameter. The 

 colors are pure white, light yel- 

 low and deep orange, and of 

 each color there is a variety 

 with white eyes, also with 

 black eyes. They continue in 

 flower all summer. A very 

 pretty plant for the garden. 

 Choicest mixed. Pkt, 15 seeds 

 3C. 



TRUMPET CREEPER. 



Rapid growing, hardy climb- 

 ing vine; covered summer and 

 fall with charming and beauti- 

 ful masses of bloom. Flowers 

 are of large size and exceed 

 ingly brilliant and 

 showy. You can 

 find nothing in the 

 way of a climber 

 more satisfactory.
