The Cardinal Climber 



(Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida ) 

 21S8 We named and introduced this glorious and absolutely distinct annual 

 climber and it is generally considered the most beautiful and brilliant 

 annual climber ever sent out. It is a strong and rapid grower; attain- 

 ing a height of 30 feet or more, with beautiful fern-like foliage, and 

 literally covered with a blaze of circular cardinal-red flowers from 

 mid-summer till frost. The flowers, about \\ inches in diameter, are 

 borne in clusters of 5 to 7 each. Like other Ipomoeas, it delights in 

 a warm, sunny situation and good soil. The seed may be started in- 

 doors in March or April, in a temperature of not less than 70 degrees, 

 but it is just as well to wait until the weather gets warm and settled 

 and then sow out of doors. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt.; special pkt., 

 40 cts.; \ oz., 75 cts.
