Annual Vines 
We have selected three annual vines which you will find easy to grow and excellent in the garden if you pro- 
vide a fence or trellis support for them. Simple cultural directions are given for each. 
MORNING GLORIES. In growing Morning Glories 
never plant until the soil is thoroughly warm. If it is 
too cool the seeds will rot instead of germinating. To 
aid germination, soak the seed overnight in warm water. 
Select the driest, sandiest part of the garden and sow 
where the plants are to flower as they do not transplant 
easily. Heavy watering will stimulate foliage growth 
at the expense of flowers. A poor soil is preferable to a 
rich one and little if any fertilizer should be used as this 
will promote heavy foliage which will hide the flowers. 
Morning Glories show off to best advantage when 
planted against a wall, fence or trellis. Height 12 ft. 
or more.

O'Hara, a red flowering type which we offered last 
year. Pkt. 10 cts.; Lg. Pkt. 20 cts. 
GOURDS: Gourds produce vigorous vines for shading 
porches and arbors. Sow 6 inches apart after danger 
of frost. Sometimes Gourds are bothered early by 
cucumber beetles. These can be controlled by using 
Rotenone dust. Gourds are mature for harvest 
when the stem becomes brown and pressure with the 
fingernail cannot dent the shell. After picking, 
Gourds should be placed in an airy, dry place until 
cured, about four weeks. Then wipe them clean of 
dust, dip them in a disinfectant such as clorox to kill 
fungus spores which cause rot, and apply a light coat- 
ing of varnish, shellac, or floor wax. If dried and 
treated in this manner, Gourds should last several 
months for house decoration.
