Imperial Japanese Ipomoeas 



or Emperor florning Glories. 



Wherever climbers can be be grown these should have a prominent place. 

 They are beyond question the handsomest of a handsome family, and well de- 

 serve their title of" Imperial" or " Emperor" Morning Glories. Of the easiest culture, 

 can be sown in the open ground in a sunny situation when the weather has become 

 warm and settled; they soon cover a large area, being of strong rapid growth, and 

 even before flowering are decidedly novel and interesting on account of the varied 

 forms of the foliage and their markings. The flowers are of gigantic size, of good 

 substance, remaining open the greater part of the day. The colorings are beyond 

 description ; the self or solid colors range from snow-white to black-purple, with all the 

 possible intermediate shades, such as pink, rose, fiery-red, copper-red, carmine, crim- 

 son, pale-blue, deep-blue, royal-purple, maroon, indigo, bronze, slate, brown, cherry, 

 ash-gray, etc., others are edged with white, having throats of one of the above 

 colors, while in others this is reversed, the throats being white and the edging of 

 color; there is also an endless number having flowers spotted, marbled, striped, 

 flaked, splashed, etc. We offer the following collection of distinct and desirable 

 colors Csee cut) : „„„ „„.,
