flower—rich dark wine red or deep crimson. The 
flowers, while not as large as Heavenly Blue, are of 
good size, freely produced on fast growing vines which 
are very showy for covering a fence or trellis. The 
foliage, which is a fairly dark green, is not heavy, 
making a plant graceful in appearance. Scarlett

Glory varieties. Pkt. 25c.

by end of May plunge pot in place where they are 
to bloom. They are then sure to produce many 
flowers. Use gravelly, sandy soil and give southern
