GIANT JAPANESE 



MORNING GLORY 



The robust vines attain a height of from 30 to 50 feet. The foliage is luxuriant, 

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

 white and gray. 



But the surpassing charm of these "Giant Japanese Morning Glories" lies in the en- 

 trancing 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, other daintily tinted and shaded. There are reds from 

 soft rose to crimson and garnet; daintiest blue to purple; snow-white to silver-gray, 

 new terra-cotta and coffee-colored shades. Some flowers are striped, blotched and 

 spotted; others have magnificent edges and throats.

THE NEW GIANT WHITE M00NFL0WER 



Ipomcea Grandiflora Maxima. This greatly improved variety of the popular 

 Moonflower Vine, produces much larger flowers and in greater profusion. If grown 

 in well enriched soil in a warm sunny location and given sufficient 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 lush green heart-shaped leaves, and will be studded from 

 July until frost with immense saucer-shaped flowers 7 to S inches across and as glisten- 

 ing white as disks of white satin. They are also softly fragrant. The flowers open 

 about sunset and close the next morning, though on cloudy days they remain open 

 until noon. The effect, particularly on moonlit nights, is entrancingly beautiful.

 BRAZILIAN Morning Glory 



Ipomaa Setosa is the botanical name of this 

 magnificent summer climbing annual. It 

 grows with the greatest vigor and luxuri- 

 ance. The leaves are 8 to 12 inches across, 

 overlapping each other and making a 

 dense shade. The vine is covered with 

 short reddish hairs which, with its 

 immense leaves and large clusters of 

 curious seed capsules, render it highly 

 ornamental. We know of nothing 

 better for quickly covering a 

 piazza, arbor or tree. The 



flowers are of beautiful rose 

 color, and are borne in large 

 clusters. Per 100 seeds, 50c;

BABY BLUE" IPOMCEA 



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 enthusi- 

 astic 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 Ipomcea and different from 

 any other we have ever seen. The vines 

 grow luxuriantly about 15 feet high, well 

 clothed with large durable leaves and commenc- 

 ing in July — from March sown seeds — the plants 

 are sheeted until frost with white-throated 

 light cerulean-blue flowers — about 2J4 inches 

 ■L . across and of such substance that they often 



remain open all day.

 bungalow, 40 miles north of Pittsburgh. I am delighted with them, as the arches 

 are completely covered with gorgeous flowers." 



Mrs. A. HEILMA N, Killanning, Pa. 

 "It might interest you to know thai I secured first prize on yard 

 gardens in our town last year. J believe it was due to the excellent 

 success of my Zinnias, Morning Glories, Marigolds and Asters, which 

 seeds I got from you." Mis _ MAX WEINERT, Sequin, Texas. 



"My wild flower garden this last summer from your seeds was very 

 beautiful and admired by many" Mrs. C. F. CLARK, Neenah, Wis.

 sending my orders to you for twenty-six years. Your seeds have always 

 given me entire satisfaction."
