Brazilian Morning Glory 
Ipomcea setosa. A most interesting climber, with rose-colored flowers from three to four 
inches in diameter, and leaves eight to twelve inches across. It presents a remarkable appear¬ 
ance, branching in all directions, and intertwining so as to make it impenetrable to the sun’s 
rays. The large seed-pods, with short, reddish hairs on the stems, make it unusually ornamental 
and attractive. After planting pour on scalding water. Annual. Ounce 25 cents. 5

white flowers. Easily grown from seed, and cuttings rooted in September bloom freely in 
the winter. 5

violet when young; when mature, changing to green, with red veins. Very effective in 
isolated positions on lawns. 10
