9. Tie up on a ’’tepee 1 ’ made of bamboo stakes, or fasten to the arms of a trellis, 
or let hang loose over a south facing terrace wall. These Morning Glories do 
not have the tenacious hold to a support that Heavenly Blue and other commonly 
known varieties do. 
Note: For Pot Method of Growing, which we here find less satisfactory, transplant 
from the sand seed bed into 4” pots. Keep there till plant has 5-6 true 
leaves, then shift to 8” pot. In the smaller pot use soil mixture of 3 
parts loam with 2 parts sand; to the same mixture add one third well de¬ 
cayed cow manure for the larger final pot. These Morning Glories enjoy 
far richer soil than Heavenly Blue. In the pots train on ladder like 
frames of bamboo and keep pinched much more closely than for growth in 
the open.

you use cane with rootlets, and shade thereafter. For out-of-door sowing in place, 
plant seeds \ in. deep at intervals of 3-4 days from April 20-May 15. In cold damp 
spells protect with small portable frames made of old cellar windows. These love
