covering walls, trellises, arbors, or stumps of trees they are invaluable.

bloom. It is well to soak the seed in warm water over night.

early-blooming strain of this enormously popular and much- 
sought-after annual climber. The flowers are large and freely 
produced, of a deep intense blue color, shading lighter toward the 
center. Its extreme earliness, and its true heavenly blue coloring 
make it distinct and infinitely superior to all other strains. In 
color on second cover. Pkt. 15 cts.; Yoz. 40 cts.; oz. $1.25 
Imperialis (Japanese Morning-Glory). The flowers are of enormous 
size and of great variety of colors. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.
