CLIMBING and TRAILING PLANTS 
2895 Lathyrus Splendens. Perennial Sweet Pea, The real ‘Pride of California.” A 
rapid growing, climbing pea, bearing large, deep Fuchsia-crimson flowers often 
measuring 2 inches across. It has no similarity to common perennial pea. Blooms all 
summer, roots extremely hardy, grows 6 feet high, foliage dying back and growing 
again the following year. The plants, when established sell for 50c each. We con- 
sider this native perennial pea of California the best climbing novelty we have ever 
offered. Pkt. 25c. (Not hardy in the east.) 
2859 Rare Orange Glory Vine (Thunbergia Gibsoni). A lovely new graceful 
climber for covering pillars and trellis work, or for growing in pots on small stakes. 
It has glistening green ivy-shaped foliage and flowers of the most brilliant glowing 
orange, a color found in no other flower. Pkt. 10 seeds for 25c. 
MORNING GLORIES 
2849 Scarlet O’Hara. Red Morning Glory. 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 seeds are soaked in luke warm water several hours until they show 
signs of swelling before planting there will be a better germination. Pkt. 25c. 
2845 Madame Butterfly or Mikado. This mammoth-flowering Japanese Morning 
Glory often measures more than 4 inches across in innumerable different colors 
which are entirely distinct from ordinary Morning Glories. For pot culture, if the 
runners are pinched two or three times the plant will form a dwarf and compact 
shape bearing many gigantic flowers. Excellent for pot, window box. Pkt, 25c. 
2844 Clark’s Heavenly Blue Giant Improved Early Flowering. (New.) This splen- 
did Moonflower has glorious large blooms measuring 414 inches in diameter. They 
are an intense sky blue color shading to white in the throat. The blooms remain 
open until noon. Its extra early flowering habit makes it particularly valuable in sec- 
tions where other Moonflowers are too late. We feel sure that our customers will 
be most favorably impressed with it for it truly is lovely. Pkt. 25c; %4 oz. $1.00. 
2843 Fraser’s Big Heavenly Blue. Luxurious grower. Bears enormous flowers of 
clear sky-blue with white throat and glossy green foliage. Flowers all summer. 
Pkt. 15c; 14 oz. $1.00. 
REAL ORCHIDS FOR YOUR GARDEN 
You have read about the exotic beauty of these magnificent, brilliantly colored 
Orchids of the Central and South American forests. Some are hardy enough to grow 
out in the open in the milder climates and' may be grown in pots in the colder cli- 
mates as house plants. They are semi-reclining, semi-spreading leafy plants, send- 
ing up stems from 3 to 6 feet tall on which are borne the magnificent flowers. They 
grow easily in either sun or half-shade. They need plenty of moisture and will do 
well if planted in soil mixed with plenty of peat moss or leaf mold. One plant will 
grow into a large clump producing inumerable lovely flowers almost every day in 
the year, for years to come.
