MOONFLOWER 'IpomcEa Grandiflora). 



The genuine Southern Moonflower, of whose beauty and frag- 

 rance much is told. A rapid, robust climber, a single*^ vine often 

 covermg a whole porch, which in the summer twilight vnll be 

 covered ^vith immense white blossoms, four to five inches across, 

 and very fragrant. This is the white-seeded variety, by many 

 considered the best. If the seed is filed and soaked in lukewarm 

 water one night, and plantesd in warm moist soil, it -wall not fail.

EARLY MOONFLOWER. 



often disanpointed in not getting the 

 Moonflower to bloom before frosts. Here is a grand new variety 

 from 45 to 60 days earher than the old variety, bearing just as 

 large and beautiful flowers. It came into flower in Minneapohs 

 last summer about Aug. 15 from seed so^^'n out of doors May 1.

 bloom. Pkt., 8 seeds, 10 cts.
