IPOMOEA 
MORNING GLORY 
Hardy Annual 
Popular for trellis, arbors, fences and so forth. They should be 
planted where they are to grow, in April or May, in well-dug 
rich soil. If the seeds are soaked in luke warm water several 
hours until they show signs of swelling before planting there 
will be a better germination.

Japanese Morning Glory often measures more than 4 inches

tinct from ordinary Morning Glories. For pot culture, if the

NEW AND RARE ORNAMENTAL GOURDS. IN 
MIXTURES AND SEPARATE VARIETIES 
Gourds grow in most every section of the world, and we have 
gone to great expense to give our customers very selected and 
new varieties. Gourds will grow in the poorer soils because 
they do not go so much to vine and more to the fruit. They 
may be trained on trellises as ornamentals or used as ground 
covers. The fruit should be allowed to become ripe and hard 
before picking. After picking, scrub thoroughly clean and 
cover with varnish. It is becoming a great hobby all over the 
world to decorate by hand the hard shelled types. 
2863 J. Raymond's Warted Hybrids. This is a novelty mixture 
of the finest colored warted types. Pkt. 25c. 
2864 Crown of Thorns. (From Africa). A most unusual gourd 
which needs no varnish. Has curved claws, not sharp, but 
very unusual. Pkt. 25c.

dian war club. Pkt. 25c.

shelled type and can be painted black and white to resemble

2855 Navajo Indian Corn. The seed of this ornamental Indian 
corn on the cob is most exquisite. The kernels are agate-color 
pure white, jet black and pink. When bunched with orna¬ 
mental hangings or in a bowl with Gourds it is most fascin¬ 
ating. Pkt. 15c.
