IMPERIAL JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES. 
The surpassing charm of these Imperial Japan¬ 
ese Morning Glories lies in the entrancing beauty 
and gigantic size of the flowers; they measure from 
four to six inches across, and their greater sub¬ 
stance causes them to remain open much lougor 
than ordinary Morning Glories. The colors of the 
flowers, shadings and markings are limitless, and 
are really wonders of nature, of such incomparable 
beauty that descriptions'are inadequate. Some 
flowers are of deep, rich, velvety tones, others more 
daintily tinted and shaded than an artist’s brush 
could portray. The solid colors range through reds 
from soft rose to crimson, bronze and garnet ma¬ 
roon; from daintiest light blue to ultramarine. In¬ 
digo and blackish purple; from snow-white to cream 
and silver gray. Some are striped, starred and spot¬ 
ted; others have magnificent edges and throats. 
The vines are of strong and robust growth, attain¬ 
ing a height of from 30 to 50 feet. The foliage is 
most luxuriant, distinct and varied—some vinos 
have rich vivid green leaves, others have silvery 
loaves, some with yellow leavos and many produce 
leaves mottled and checkered like rich mosaics of 
light and dark green, white and gray. The inter¬ 
mingling vines and brightly contrasting colorod 
leavos are wonderfully pretty and effective, ovon 
when the flowers are not open. The Imperial Jap¬ 
anese Morning Glories are of the easiest culture. 
Sow early in a warm, sunny position in good, rich 
soil, and give plenty of water in dry weather. Pkt., 
SO seeds, 6 cents.
