NEW JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES. 



This grand new race of Morning Glories comes to 

 us from Japan, and are noted for the large size and 

 beautiful new colors of the flowers with handsome 

 foliage, often beautifully blotched. The vines ai 

 strong and robust, growing rapidly to a height of 20 

 feet. The immense flowers are of all shades of red, 

 blue, yellow, bronze, brown, and many odd shades 

 and combinations not found in any other flower; 

 the black and white are particularly striking, as ar 

 the blues bordered with red, purples marbled with 

 black, whites spotted with blue; others are striped, 

 mottled, blotched and shaded in an undescribable 

 manner, often having six or seven colors and tints in 

 one flower. Many of the flowers have odd shapes. Our 

 seed is put up in original packets made in colors 

 in a curious way by the Japanese. Pkt. 10 cts., 



3 pkts. for 25 cts.

like leaves 3 feet 



long by 12 inches wide. They are desirable 

 as a single plant on the lawn or for massive 

 beds. The best results are obtained by plant- 

 ing bulbs in rich soil and giving an abund- 

 ance of water. In the fall the bulbs should b 

 taken up and laid away in the cellar until th 

 next season; they are good for years. Fine 

 bulbs 20cts. each, 3 for 50 cts., $1.75 per dozen.
