 speeds on the rays of early dawn from east to west, the dewy 

 trumpetsof the Morning Glory announce her coming and carpet 

 her way from ocean to ocean. 



The flowers of these New Mammoth Morning Glories are as 

 large as moonflowers, often 6 inches across, and the petals of 

 many are beautifully fringed and ruffled. The vines begin to 

 bloom when 2 to 3 feet high and continue to bear flowers by the 

 hundreds unil frost. The flowers are not only large but superior 

 in every way to the common kind. The petals are thicker, which 

 gives the colors a deeper and richer look. The flowers are 

 strangely and beautifully marked and colored in a way never 

 seen before. Snowy throats with blood-red border, velvet plum 

 bordered with white, snow-white through all possible shades of 

 blue, and of red from palest pink to darkest reds and purples. They 

 are streaked, mottled, striped, marbled and bordered in a won- 

 derful fashion, and sometimes show rare shadings of ash gray, 

 bronze, brown and slate-blue, colors rarelv found in any other 

 flowers. To gain time start the seeds in small pots in the house in 

 March or April, and plant in a warm, sunnv place.
