Meandering MORNING GLORIES 
Mammoth Heavenly Blue 
Clark’s True Early Strain 
Considered by many the largest, finest and 
most pleasing of all Morning Glories. 
One of the few flowers of really true blue 
color. See colored illustration inside coyer 
page. This shows the color, but not the size. 
The flowers are much larger —3 to 4 inches 
in diameter. 
This early flowering strain was developed 
in Denver by a personal friend of mine, Prof. 
Perry L. Clark, who taught in the Denver 
city schools for many years. 
The vines grow 10 to 15 feet or more from 
seed sown in the open ground, after soil has 
warmed up in May. (Do not plant ANY of the 
new Mammoth strains of Morning Glories 
out doors until warm spring weather.) 
Heavenly Blue may be started earlier in 
pots, then set out after danger from frosts is 
over. 
There seems no limit to the ways Heavenly 
Blue can be used for stunning effects. The 
vines will climb stumps, fences, buildings old 
or new, trees—small or large, dead or alive, 
grape trellises, etc. 
One of the most gorgeous sights I ever saw 
was in one of our neighbor’s gardens. A long 
row of grape vines was host to thousands of 
these immense blue blossoms playing hide 
and seek among the leaves and fruits. 
Just one thing more. You can pick a bunch 
of stems and buds in the morning, bring them 
into the house and they will bloom and last 
lovelier and longer than you would imagine.

Mammoth “Cornell” 
Here’s one more new giant Morning Glory, 
distinctly and delightfully different. And I 
do mean “CORNELL.” 
The size of “Cornell” is almost but not quite 
as large as Heavenly Blue. Some say fully 
as large and robust, but we won’t haggle over 
that. They do say the blooms not so large 
later in the season. 
The color is carnelian red, with pure white 
border. Since these are the colors of Cornell 
University—good old Cornell University— 
some bright chap jumped up and flung the 
door wide open when old man Opportunity 
knocked. 
An appropriate name for a beautiful flower. 
Close your eyes and imagine that color com¬ 
bination. 
“COBNBZili” is an early bloomer, sometimes 
beginning when the plants are only 2 feet 
high, and continuing as the vines romp, ramble 
and meander till frosts. 
More sad news is that good old Cornell seeds 
also very scarce. Pkt. 25c. 
Mammoth “Scarlett O’Kara” 
You guessed it. The color is BED —rich 
dark wine red, or rosy crimson. 
“Scarlett O’Hara” is an entirely new color 
in this popular garden flower. The blooms 
(not quite so large as Heavenly Blue) are 
freely produced on fast growing vines, which 
start blooming in about 65 days. Needless to 
say, the large red flowers are very showy. 
“Scarlett O’Hara” was granted the Gold 
Medal in the All-American Selections in the 
Morning Glory trials. 
The sad news is that seed of “Scarlett 
O’Hara” is scarce. Specialists in flower seed 
growing made ample plantings for a good 
supply. But were disappointed to find at 
harvest time that the yield was less than half 
a crop. Many of the seed pods failed to fill, 
or had “Gone with the Wind.” Pkt. 25c.

NATF Very few people seem to have seen 
“ and enjoyed this DWARF Morning 
Glory. A bush of this is delightful, and a 
row or border is a sight for sore eyes. 
“That ain’t the way I heerd it” 
Way I heerd it wuz, one feller sez to t’other 
feller. “That there whoppin' big blue Mornin’ 
Glory is the climinest thing I ever seed. 
“One day I was standin’ dost to a row of 
this rapid dimin’ wonder. I wuz a restin’ an’ 
leanin’ on my hoe—kinda dreamin’ like. 
“Fore I knowed it, one of them vines reaches 
over, winds itself ’round my hoe handle, an’ 
then comes a climbin’ up my arm, takin’ a 
loop ’round my neck, then a half hitch on 
my ear. 
“I wuz bare headed, an’ when I say bare 
I mean bare. That vine couldn’t git a foot 
holt on my bald head, so started to run down 
my back. ’Bout then I come to, and made my 
escape.” Yep. that’s the way I heerd it. 
Marigold Musings 
Such marvelous improvements have been 
made among the various types of Marigolds 
by expert hybridizers that the results are al¬ 
most unbelievable. 
Plower lovers the world over ar© justified in 
having gone “Marigold mad.” 
Personally, I’m not so keen about “getting 
shed of” the Marigold odor altogether. But 
that has been done, as one extreme, while with 
other new creations the Marigold odor of the 
foliage has been diluted, and the flowers made 
sweet scented. 
My unusual special “Collection Offers” en¬ 
able you to plant and compare these latest 
Marigold creations at small cost. 
The “Sunset Giants” strain tops them all for 
size, and general points of excellence. 
“Crown of Gold” is another of the “must 
haves.” Its freedom from the characteristic 
2 
Marigold odor is winning many friends, espe¬ 
cially among those to whom the ordinary odor 
is more pungent than pleasing. 
A little Marigold seed goes a long ways. 
Sow after ground warms up, thinly. Plants 
should be from 1 to 2 feet apart after final 
thinning or transplanting. The smaller kinds 
closer than the gigantic strains. 
Ever notice how Marigolds stand the early 
light frosts? They stay with you longer than 
most annuals. Calendulas and Delphiniums 
are also among those present to the last. Most 
Marigolds described as double show a per cent 
of semi-double and maybe a few singles. But 
the semi-double flowers are also very pleasing. 
Marigolds as cut flowers. Few flowers keep 
longer after being cut. For days and days 
Marigold blooms look as fresh as though in 
the garden. And will be in good condition 
for several weeks. Change water often. Cut 
a bit off the stems every few days. Keep 
them cool.
