MOON FLOWER. 



Moon Flower 



{Ipomcea Qrandiflora 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 dan- 

 ger from frost is past. Rich soil tends to make 

 the plant run to vines and leaves, while poor eartli 

 will produce earlier and more abundant flowers. 

 This variety is also known as Ipomcea Nocti-

CHAMELEON NASTURTIUM 



When a plant of this novel sort is in full bloom, one can find 

 upon it flowers of almost every shade of color and form of marking 

 known to nasturtiums. No matter what color a flower may be when it 

 opens, it is continually changing until it fades, so that there is an almost 

 endless variety of marking and color. Unlike many flowers which are 

 notable because cmious, those of the Chameleon Nasturtium are always 

 beautiful, and whatever shade or marking may be in ascendency at any 

 particular time, the plant is beautiful and attractive.
