IPOMOEA "BABY BLUE" 



2496 This entrancingly beautiful climber came to us a few years ago — only a few 

 seeds — from a customer in the middle west who wanted us to grow it and 

 identify the variety. The accompanying enthusiastic description we proved 

 to be fully justified. We do not know the variety name. but we do know 

 that it is the most lovely light blue Ipomoea and different from any other 

 we have ever seen. The vines grow luxuriantly about 15 feet high, -well 

 clothed with large durable leaves and commencing in July — from March- 

 sown seeds — the plants are sheeted until frost with white-throated light ceru- 

 blue flowers — about 2^^ inches across and of such substance that they often 

 remain open all day Per 100 seeds, 50c.; Pkt. 10c.

 water while making growth the vine will attain a height of from 60 to 75 

 feet during the summer season, and be covered with large bluish green heart- 

 shaped leaves, and will be studded from July until frost with immense saucer- 

 shaped flowers from 7 to 8 inches across and as glistening white as disks of 

 white satin. They are also softly fragrant. The flowers open about sunset 

 close the next morning, though on cloudy days theyremian open until noon. 

 The effect, particularly on moonlit nights, is entrancingly beautiful. {See 

 engraving.) Per 100 seeds, 50c. ; Pkt. 10c.

 distinct and varied, mostly green, but many leaves are mottled light and dark green, 

 white and gray.

 entrancing beauty and large size of the flowers; they measure from 3 to 4 inches 

 across. The colors of the flowers, shadings and markings, are limitless. Some 

 flowers are of deep, rich, velvety colors, others daintily tinted and shaded. There 

 are reds from soft rose to crimson and garnet; daintiest blue to purple; snow-white
