Imperial Japanese Ipomceas. 



IPOMOEA. 



Climbers of rapid growth, with beautiful and 

 varied flowers; for covering walls, trellises, arbors 

 or stumps of trees they are invaluable; it is well to 

 soak the seed in warm water over night to assist in 

 rapid germination. 



Imperial Japanese. These are beyond ques- 

 tion the handsomest of all Morning Glories. Of 

 the easiest culture; can be sown in the open ground 

 in a sunny situation when the weather has become 

 warm and settled; they soon cover a large area, 

 and even before flowering are decidedly interesting 

 on account of the varied forms of the foliage and 

 their markings. The flowers are of gigantic size, 

 and the colorings beyond description; the self or 

 solid colors range from snow-white to black-purple, 

 with all the possible intermediate shades; there is 

 also an endless number having flowers spotted, 

 marbled, striped, flaked, splashed, etc. (See cut. )
