Double-flowering Japanese Morning Glories 
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. 
Hut the surpassing charm ofthese “ 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 limit less. Some flowers are of deep, rich velvety colors 
others daintily tinted and shaded. There art* reds from soft rose to crimson, bronze and garnet 
maroon; daintiest light blue, ultramarine, indigo anti blackish purple; snow-white, cream and 
silver-gray. Some are striped, blotched and spotted ; others have magnificent edges and throats
