HEAVENLY BLUE MORNING GLORY 
1718. Improved Early Flowering. (New.) One of the few flowers of true blue, and probably one 
of the finest of all Morning Glories. Flowers measure 3! to 4 inches across, deep blue with white 
throat. They bloom profusely and for a long season, opening in the morning, facing the sun. While 
many have easy success sowing the seed in the open ground, others prefer to sow two seeds in a 3- 
inch pot indoors in April, and by the end of May plunge pot in the place where they are to bloom. 
They are then sure to produce many flowers. Use gravelly, sand soil and give southern exposure.
