JAPANESE IMPERIAL OR GIANT 

 MORNING GLORY. 



As the Angel of Morn speeds on the rays of early dawn 

 from east to west, the dewy trumpets of the Morning 

 (4 lory announce her coming and carpets her way from 

 ocean to ocean. 



The flowers of these New Mammoth Morning Glories 

 are as large as moonflowers, often (> inches across, and 

 the petals of many are beautifully fringed and ruffled. 

 The vines begin to bloom when 2 to 3 feet high and con- 

 tinue to bear flowers by the hundreds until frost. The 

 flowers are not only large but superior in every way to 

 the common kind. The petals are thicker, which gives 

 the colors a deeper and richer look. The flowers are 

 strangely and beautifully marked and colored in a way 

 never seen before. Snowy throats with blood-red border, 

 velvet plum bordered wi'th white, snow-white through 

 all possible shades of blue, and of red from palest pink 

 to darkest reds and purples. They are streaked, mottled , 

 striped, marbled and bordered in a wonderful fashion, 

 and sometimes show rare shadings of ash gray, bronze, 

 brown and slate-blue, colors rarely found in any other 

 flowers. To gain time start the seeds in small pots in the 

 house in March or April, and plant in a warm, sunny 

 place.
