This strain has been developed to such a 

 state of perfection that it now produces 

 flowers of immense size and almost 

 endless variety of color and markings. 

 Some of the flowers are brilliant red, 

 or rich blue; others are equally bril- 

 hant, with broad margins of clear 

 white. Some blossoms are striped 

 and dotted with blue or red on white 

 or lemon yellow ground, others 

 clouded with blue and red; in fact, 

 one may expect to find some new and 

 exquisitely beautiful markings every 

 morning. Not only are the flowers 

 varied but the foliage is equally so; 

 in some plants it comes plaia green, 

 in others it is mottled with white and 

 shades of yellow or yellowish-green. 

 The plants do not always produce 

 flowers exactly hke those from which 

 the seed came and often give different colored 

 blossoms at different times, so we only offer the 

 seed in mixture. Our seed is the very best it is pos- 

 sible 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. Sets 



A -mffg^wtn This new strain is a result of crossing the common 3Iom- 

 x«.UFUF<l ing Glorj' with the Giant Japanese and combiiies to a 

 remarkable degree the vigor, hardiness and abundant bloom of the 

 vine of the fu'st with the size and rich coloring of the flowers of the 

 second. The flowers are decidedly larger than those of the common 

 Morning Glory and are either a deep, rich blue shading to a white 

 throat, or an exceedingly rich, dark cartmine, also with white throat. 

 We consider it the most practically useful strain of convolvulus in 

 cultivation and recommend it as one of the best of summer climbers. 

 The planter is sure to get satisfactory results Pkt. 5ct8
