Cardinal Climber 



Cardinal Climber @ 



Ipomoea quamoclit hybrida 

 2158 We named and introduced this glorious 

 and absolutely distinct climber which 

 is universally considered the most 

 beautiful and brilliant of all annual 

 climbers. It is a strong and rapid 

 grower, attaining a height of 30 feet 

 or more. Beautiful fern-like foliage 

 and literally covered with a blaze of 

 cardinal-red flowers from mid-summer 

 till frost. The flowers are about 1\ 

 inches in diameter. They are borne 

 in clusters of from 5 to 7 each. Like 

 other Ipomoeas, it delights in a warm, 

 sunny situation and good soil. The 

 seed may be started indoors 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.
