Morning Glory 
Tall or Running 15 to 20 feet 
New sorts of this wonderful hardy an¬ 
nual have come to us in recent years from 
Japan and Brazil. They produce larger 
blooms, richer colors, with many beautiful 
variations, stripings and blotchings. Very 
quick growth covering porches, trellises 
and fences. Soak the seed several hours in 
warm water before planting. 
Moss Rose—Portulaca 6 inches 
This little hardy annual is unrivalled for 
brilliance among plants of low growth. Also 
called “Sun Plant” because it thrives in very 
sunny locations. Plant of low spreading 
habit, with small stems tinted red, and 
small quill-shaped leaves which gives it a 
mossy appearance. Blossoms cup-shaped 
and glossy, about 1 inch across, the com¬ 
mon colors being orange and rose. Very 
prolific. Now used in rock gardens. 
Nasturtiums 
This hardy annual is a native of Peru. It 
has won a high place for itself in popular 
favor through its beauty, ease of culture, 
adaptability to many uses and long periods 
of bloom. It grows well all over the United 
States providing it has moderately good 
soil, in a well-drained sunny location. Be¬ 
gins blooming early and will continue up to 
frost if flowers are picked before seed forms. 
The circular leaves and large blooms are 
borne on long thin stems suitable for cut¬ 
ting. The five-petalled flowers with open, 
hairy throats and trailing spurs run almost 
the whole range of colors, excepting blue, 
green and white.

A hardy annual known also as “Baby 
Blue Eyes.” A native wild flower of Cali¬ 
fornia domesticated to be of excellent use 
as a border plant or for bedding. Plant is 
of spreading habit with bright green, 
hairy leaves, and covered with saucer¬ 
shaped blue flowers about 1 inch across.

tion where the plants are to grow. 
Nigella (Love in the Mist or Devil in 
the Bush) 18 inches 
This peculiar, hardy annual gets its name 
from its odd blue blossom which is partly 
concealed in the dense feathery foliage. 
The plant grows in oval-bush form, and 
requires very little care in any garden. 
The seed pods are as curious looking as the 
blooms.
