 f I l|l||\] |h| II Wf Ih Li one of the most vigorous of all the sum- 

 I I MKJXJLj I L^V/ TT Lwlx mer climbers. Will grow thirty to forty 

 %■*■■» 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 outser coat of the 

 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 ten days to 

 two weeks. After the plants are up, keep growing vigorously and plant 

 out in very rich soil when danger from frost is past. This variety is also 

 known as Ipomcea Noctiflora Pkt. IScts
