MORNING GLORY. Nat. Ord., Convolvulacece. 
The Morning Glory (Convolvulus major , or Tpomeapurpurea) is an old and popular fa¬ 
vorite, and an almost indispensable ornament of a garden. The rapidity of its growth, and 
the beauty of its various-colored flowers, render it one of the most desirable of climbing 
plants for covering trellis-work, arbors, twining on strings, poles, &c. The seeds may be 
sown where the plants are to flower, at any time in spring. They continue to bloom all 
through the season until cut ofF by frost. For a choice assortment of colors, see Collec¬ 
tions.
