■FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES 
THE BRAZILIAN MORNING GLORY. {Ipomcea Setosa.) 
MaRnificent summer climbing anniuil. It grows with the greatest vigor 
aiul luxunaiice. The leaves are 8 to 12 inches across, overlai^ping each other 
ami making a dense 8iia<le. The vine is covered with short reddish hairs wliich, 
with its immense leaves and large clusters of curious seed capsules, render it 
highly ornamental. We know of nothing better for quickly covering a piazza, 
arbor or tree. The flowers are of a beautiful rose color, and are borne in large 
clusters. Pkt. 10?.

These are grand improvements over the older well-known sorts. 
The flowers are fully double the size, and the plants and 
foliage are correspondingly larger and more robust. We had 
a row of each of the rose, purple and white growing on 4-foot 
pea trellis in our grounds the past summer, ami thev elicited 
praise from all visitors; the vines quickly hid the trellis 
from view and hung oyer three or four feet, searching 
for something else to cling to, and w’ere thickly studded 
with flowers nearly as large as Gloxinias. The plants 
from seed sown irj spring will begin flowering by duly 
and continue until frost.

JAPANESE GIANT 
MORNING GLORIES. 
We introduced these grand climbers into America, and they 
have proven a revelation to many. The robust vines attain a 
height of from 30 to 50 feet. The foliage is luxuriant, distinct 
ami varied, green, silvery and yellow leaves; many are mottled 
light and dark green, white and gray. 
But the surpassing charm of these "'Giant Japanese Morning 
Glories ” lies in the entrancing beauty and gigantic size of the 
flowers; they measure from 4 to 5 inches across. The colors 
of tile flowers, shadings and markings are limitless. Some 
flowers are of deep, rich, velvety colors, others daintily tinted 
and shaded. ^ There are xeds from soft ro.se to crimson and 
garnet; daintiest blue to purple; snow-white to silver-gray. 
Some are striped, blotched and spotted; others have magnifi¬ 
cent edges and throats. (See cut.) Mixed Colors. . .Pkt. 10c.
