Ipomoea, 
Heavenly Blue, 
Improved 
Ipomoea • Morning-Glory 
For the best results with Heavenly Blue and 
other Ipomaas, start the seed early enough to 
have good, strong plants in 4-inch pots to set out 
in late May. They bloom best in soil rather low 
in fertility and in a fairly dry location. 
You will get quicker and better germination 
if the seeds are soaked in water a few hours 
before planting. Nicking or filing the seed-coat 
allows moisture to reach the germ quicker.

ANNUAL LARKSPUR 
Excellent Strains for the Greenhouse and Outdoors 
Many florists are finding Annual Larkspurs profitable greenhouse crops. They are easy to grow, 
the seed is inexpensive, and the crop is made in a comparatively short time. Sowings of seed in the 
greenhouse during December and January will give excellent crops during late April and May. 
Sow the outdoor crop as early as your soil is in workable condition. 
Varieties marked with asterisk (*) are most salable as cut-flowers.
