Heavenly Blue and Pearly Gates Morning Glories 
are the finest varieties we have ever grown. 
MORNING GLORIES 
In growing Morning Glories never plant un- 
til 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. Sow where the plants are to 
flower as they do not transplant easily. Morn- 
ing Glories show off to best advantage when 
planted against a wall, fence, or trellis. Height 
12 ft. or more. Mixed Colors are not as large 
flowered as Heavenly Blue and Pearly Gates.
