Moon Flower 



(Ijjomoea Grandiflora Alba}. 



This is one of the most vigorous of 

 all the summer climbers. Will grow thirty 

 to forty feet in a single season and 

 will be covered with its large, 

 white flowers every evening 

 and cloudy day. The hard, 

 outer coat of the seed should 

 be cut through with a sharp 

 knife and the seed planted in 

 a warm place. If the soil be 

 kept moist, germination will 

 take place in ten days to two 

 weeks. After the plants are 

 up tend carefully and plant 

 out when danger from frost is 

 past. Rich soil tends to make 

 the plant run to vines and 

 leaves, while poor earth will 

 produce earlier .and more abun- 

 dant flowers. This variety is 

 also known as Ipomcea Xocti- 

 flora Pkt. locts
