We introduced these grand climbers and they have proved a revelation to many. The robust 
vines attain a height of from thirty to fifty feet. The foliage is luxuriant, distinct and varied, 
green, silvery and yellow leaves; many are mottled light and dark green, white and gray. 
But the surpassing charm of these “Imperial Japanese Morning Glories ” lies in the entrancing 
beauty and gigantic size of the flowers; they measure from four to five inches across. The colors of 
the flowers, shadings and markings are limitless. Some flowers art 1 of deep, rich velvety colors, 
others daintily tinted and shaded. There are reds from soft rose to crimson and garnet; daintiest 
blue to purple; snow-white to silver-gray. Some are striped, blotched and spotted; others have 
magnificent edges and throats. (See cut.) Mixed Colors, per packet, 10c.; per 100 seeds, 25c.
