THE NEW GIANT WHITE MOONFLOWER 



Ipomcea Grandijlora Maxima. This greatly improved variety of the popular Moon- 

 fiower Vine, produces much larger flowers and in greater profusion. If grown in well 

 enriched soil in a warm sunny location and given sufficient water while making growth, 

 the vine will attain a height of from 60 to 75 feet during the summer season, and be 

 covered with large lush green heart-shaped leaves, and will be studded from July 

 until frost with immense saucer-shaped flowers 7 to S inches acrbss and as glisten- 

 ing white as disks of white satin. They are also softly fragrant. The flowers 

 open about sunset and close the next morning, though on cloudy days they 

 remain open until noon. The effect particularly on moon-lit nights is en- 

 trancingly beautiful Per 100 seeds, 50c.; Pkt. 10c. 



"BABY BLUE" IPOMOEA 



This entrancingly beautiful climber came to us three years ago — only a 



few seeds — from a customer in the middle west who wanted us to grow it 



and identify the variety. The accompanying enthusiastic description we 



proved to be fully justified. We do not know the variety name but we do 



know that it is the most lovely light blue Ipomcea and different from any 



other we have ever seen. The vines grow luxuriantly about 15 feet high, 



well clothed with large 

 durable leaves and com- 

 mencing in July — from 

 March sown seeds — the 

 plants are sheeted until 

 frost with white-throated 

 light ccerulean-blue flow- 

 ers — about 2' 2 inches 

 across and of such sub- 

 stance that they often 

 remain open all day. Per

BRAZILIAN 

 MORNING GLORY 



Ipomcea Setosa is the botanical name of 

 this magnificent summer climbing annual. 

 It grows with the greatest vigor and luxuri- 

 ance. The leaves are 8 to 12 inches across, 

 overlapping each other and making a dense 

 shade. The vine is covered with short red- 

 dish hairs which, with its immense leaves 

 and large clusters of curious seed capsules, 

 render it highly ornamental. We know of 

 nothing better for quickly covering a piazza, 

 arbor or tree. The flowers are of beautiful 

 rose color, and are borne in large clusters.
