 seen. The vines grow luxuriantly about IS feet high, weli clothed with large durable leaves and commencing in July — from March-sown seeds

The robust vines attain a height of from 30 to 50 feet. The foliage is luxuriant, 

 distinct and varied, mostly green, but many leaves are mottled light and dark green, 

 white and gray. 



But the surpassing charm of these "Giant Japanese Morning Glories" lies in the 

 entrancing beauty and large size of the flowers; they measure from 3 to 4 inches across. 

 The colors of the flowers, shadings and markings, are limitless. Some flowers are of 

 deep, rich, velvety colors, others daintily tinted and shaded. There are reds from soft 

 rose to crimson and garnet; daintiest blue to purple; snow-white to silver-gray, new-

 others have magnificent edges and throats. (See illustration.)
