Moon Flower. 
Moon Flower 
(Ipomcea Orandiflora Alba). 
This is one of the most vigorous of 
all the summer climbers. Will grow thirty 
to forty feet in a single season and 
will be covered with its large, 
white flowers every evening 
and cloudy day. The hard, 
outer coat of the seed should 
be cut through with a sharp 
knife and the seed planted in 
a warm place. If the soil be 
kept moist, germination will 
take place in ten days to two 
weeks. After the plants are 
up tend carefully and plant 
out when danger from frost is 
past. Rich soil tends to make 
the plant run to vines and 
leaves, while poor earth will 
produce earlier and more abun¬ 
dant flowers. This variety is 
also known as Ipomcea Nocti- 
flora.. .Pkt. locts
