CHILDS’ GIANT IMPERIAL. (Climber.) 
A new strain with gigantic blooms as large as Moon- 
I flowers, colors, markings and variegations never before 
seen, and of indescribable beauty. Some double, some 
with quilled and feathered petals, and many with beau¬ 
tifully marbled and variegated leaves. Seed germinates 
quickly, and the vines grow rapidly and are soon in 
bloom. The flowers are borne by the hundreds, are of 
enormous size, five or six inches across, and of the most 
delicate, vivid and blending colors to be seen in any 
flower. Some will be pure white, others crimson, brick- 
red, light and dark blues, pinks, etc., while others show 
a rich and varied combination of colors blended together 
in a most enchanting way; spotted, blotched, striped, 
stained, penciled, bordered, mottled and variegated in 
every conceivable manner. A few will be double and 
semi-double. To add to their beauty, the leaves of many 
of the varieties are richly marbled and variegated white 
and green. Nothing among flowers can furnish a more 
beautiful sight than a screen, hedge or trellis of these 
Giant Morning Glories. To secure the beautiful varieties
