Beautiful rapid annual climbers. Foliage very dense 
and, in some kinds, of remarkable shape. The flowers 
in their wide range of delicate coloring are poised on 
slender stems. Many of the sorts open only when the 
sun rises, others when the sun sets. Some are 
fragrant. Seeds should be soaked in warm water for 
24 hours before sowing to assist rapid germination. 
The seeds about the size of a pea should be notched 
with a file before soaking.

Morning Glory Scarlett O’Hara 
Scarlett O’Hara is an entirely new color in this popular 
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 
O’Hara will undoubtedly be one of the popular Morning 
Glory varieties. Pkt. 15c. 
(Early Flowering Rubro Coe- 
Heavenly Blue rulea). One of the few flow- 
ers of true blue and: probably finest of all morning 
glories. Flowers measure 3% to 4 inches ad¢ross, 
deep blue with white throat. They blossom profusely 
and for a long season, opening in the morning and 
facing the sun. While many have easy success 
sowing seed in the open ground, others prefer to 
sow two seeds in a 38-inch pot indoors in April and 
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 
exposure. Pkt. 15c, Y oz. 50c, oz. 85c.
