For best results with Morning Glories select 
the driest, sandiest part of the garden and 
keep “on the dry side.’’ In order to induce 
early and abundant flowering, a poor soil is 
preferable. If you apply either fertilizer or 
water, there will be a lot of foliage but not 
many flowers. 
Mignonette - Reseda 
A well known old-fashioned flower prized 
for its distinctive fragrance. Sow the seed out 
in the garden where you want the plants to 
remain, as it does not transplant successfully.

MORNING GLORIES 
Here is a group of the latest Morning Glories—flowers are 
of magnificent size, yet still dainty and graceful. 
Scarlett O’Hara. Entirely different from any 
other Morning Glory. The large carnelian-red 
flowers, about 31% in. across, appear on the 
vine early in the season, about 65 days after 
seed is sown, and remain until frost. Blossoms 
stay open all day long. The vine makes an 
abundance of clean, rich dark green foliage. 
The foliage is ‘“halberd’’ shaped rather than 
the heart shaped leaves of most Morning 
Glories. Pkg. 15¢ (will make a 15-ft. row); 
V4 oz. 50c (for a 60-ft. row). 
Blue Star. All-America Winner. A new color 
in Giant Morning Glories, a distinct shade of 
clear sky-blue accentuated by the fine deeper 
blue midribs to form an attractive shade. The 
flowers are of great size, being larger and 
earlier than the ever-popular Heavenly Blue, 
they average from 4 to 41/4 inches in diameter 
and are borne in great profusion. One of the 
most notable characteristics of this Morning 
Glory is the fact that the flowers remain open 
well into the afternoon on cloudy days. 
Pig. 15c (will mcke a 15-ft. row); V4 oz. 60c. 
Darling. The same rich wine-red color as 
Scarlett O’Hara but with a distinct snowy 
white throat that provides enough contrast te 
make the flowers “stand out’’ immediately. 
When in full bloom Darling is a very_ showy 
sight, appearing much brighter than Scarlett 
O’Hara. Has the same good early blooming 
habit and luxuriant growth of vine and foliage. 
Pkg. 15¢; % oz. 60c

If you have a heavy, sticky, hard, lumpy 
soil in your garden that is hard to cultivate, 
you can correct it permanently by simply 
working Krilium into it. We tell how easily 
Krilium does it on page 22 of this book. 
NMiyosotis Forget-me-Not 
A splendid half-hardy perennial, which 
should be treated as an annual, making very 
lovely beds and borders and delightful spots 
of color in the rock garden. Sow the seed in 
the spring for summer bloom and in the fall, 
protecting during the winter, for early spring 
flowers. The Alpestris varieties should be treat- 
ed as annuals and prefer to grow in the sun. 
Palustris does far better in moist, shady places. 
Sutton’s Royal Blue (Alpestris). Compact 
plants 8 inches tall covered in the spring with 
rich, deep blue flowers. Pkg. 20c; Ig. pkg. 45c¢
