Giant Japanese Mixed ™J|u?is 



flowers of immense size in a splendid variety of color and 

 markings. Some of the flowers are brilliant red or rich 

 blue; others are equally brilliant, with broad margins of 

 clear white. Some blossoms are striped and dotted with 

 blue or red on white or lemon yellow ground, others are 

 clouded with blue and red; the foliage in some plants 

 comes plain green, in others it is mottled with white and 

 shades of yellow or yellowish-green. Our seed is the very 

 best it is possible to produce. It is sometimes slow to 

 germinate but if a slight notch is filed or cut in one end 

 and the seed soaked a few hours in lukewarm water the 

 plants will come up more quickly Pkt. 5c. 



This new strain is a result of crossing the 

 common Morning Glory with the Giant 

 Japanese and combines to a remarkable degree the vigor 

 and hardiness of the first with the size and rich coloring 

 of the flowers of the second. The flowers are decidedly 

 larger and of heavier texture than those of the common 

 Morning Glory and are uniformly either a rich, deep blue 

 shading to a white or rose-colored throat, or an exceed- 

 ingly rich, dark carmine. We consider it the most florif- 

 erous and practically useful strain of convolvulus in cul- 

 tivation and recommend it as one of the best summer 

 chmbers. The planter is sure to get satisfactory re-

Moon Flower 



dpomcea Grandiflora Alba). "Will grow 

 thirty to forty feet in a single season 

 and be covered with its large, white

 The hard outer coat of the seed should 

 be cut through with a sharp knife, care 

 being taken not to cut any deeper than 

 the hard shell and the "^seed planted 

 about one inch deep in moist soil in a 

 box or pan and set in a warm place. If 

 the soil be kept moist, germination will 

 take place in about two weeks. After 

 the plants are up. plant outdoors in a
