"BABY BLUE"
IPOMOE/
This entrancingly beautiful
climber came to us three years
ago — only a few seeds — from
a customer in the middle
west who wanted us to grow
it and identify the variety.
The accompanying enthu-
siastic description we
E roved to be fully justi-
ed. We do not know
the variety name but
we do know that it is
the most lovely light
blue Ipomoea and
different from any
other we have ever
seen. The vines grow
luxuriantly about IS
feet high, well clothed
with large durable leaves
and commencing in July
— from March sown seeds
— the plants are sheeted
until frost with white-
throated light ccerulean-
blue flowers — about 2K
inches across and of such
substance that they often
remain open all day.. Pkl. 15c
The BRAZILIAN
MORNING GLOR
(Ipomcea Selosa.)
Magnificent summer climbing annual. It grows with the greatest vigor
and luxuriance. The leaves are 8 to 12 inches across overlapping each other
and making a dense shade. The vine is covered with short reddish hairs
which, with its immense leaves and large clusters of curious seed capsules,
render it highly ornamental. We know of nothing better for quickly cover-
ing a piazza, arbor or tree. The flowers are of beautiful rose color, and
are borne in large clusters Pkt. 15c.
"he New Giant MOON FLOWER
(Ipomcea Maxima.)
A greatly improved variety of the popular Moon Flower Vine,
producing much larger flowers and in greater profusion. If
grown in well enriched soil in a warm sunny location and
given sufficient water while making growth, the vine will
attain a height of from 60 to 75 feet during the summer
season, and be covered with large lush green heart-shaped
leaves, and will be studded from July until frost
with immense saucer-shaped flowers 7 to 8 inches across
and as glistening white as disks of white satin. They
are also softly fragrant. The flowers open about
sunset and close the next morning. The effect partic-
ularly on moon-lit nights is entrancingly beauti-
ful. (See cut.) Pkt. 10c.
JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES
The robust vines attain a height of from 30 to 50 feet. The foliage is luxuriant,
distinct and varied, green, silvery and yellow leaves; many are mottled light and dark
green, white and gray.
But the surpassing cjiarm of these "Giant Japanese Morning Glories" lies in the
entrancing beauty and large size of the flowers; they measure from 3 to 4 inches
across. The colors of the flowers, shadings and markings are limitless. Some
flowers are of deep, rich, velvety colors, others daintily tinted and shaded. There
are reds from soft rose to crimson and garnet; daintiest blue to purple ; snow-
white to silver-gray. Some are striped, blotched and spotted; others have mag-
nificent edges and throats. (See cut.) Mixed Colors Pkt. 10c.
Emperor of Japan Crimson, with white margin and blush throat 10c.
Empress of Japan. Soft blue, with white margin and rose throat 10c.
Count Ito. Cream dotted with pink, maroon and carmine; yellow throat 10c.
Marquis Yamagata. Blush-pink, rose shadings; white margin 10c.
"RUFFLED AND FRILLED"
JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES
The perfection of Morning Glories. Immense flowers, often as big as saucers, all
wavy, ruffled and fluted from throat to margin, like crumpled velvet. They are
simply magnificent. Mixed Colors Pkt. 15c.
Double^Flowering MORNING GLORIES
These beautiful climbing annuals are of very rapid and luxuriant growth; the flow-
ers will come double, semi-double and a few, perhaps, single. The colors vary; there
are various shades of blue, white spotted with red, white marbled with purple and
lavender, crimson, pure white, etc. Mixed Colors Pkt. 10c.
Giant^Flowering MAURANDIAS
These are grand improvements over the older well-known sorts. The flowers are
fully double the size, and the plants and foliage are correspondingly larger and
more robust, attaining a height of 6 to 10 feet; the vines quickly hide trellis from
view and are thickly studded with flowers nearly as large as Gloxinias. _ The plants
from seed sown in spring will begin flowering by July and continue until frost.
Mixed Colors. White, rose and purple Pkt. 10c.
MINA SANGUINEA
Splendid annual garden climber of luxuriant growth; 20 to 30_feet. Adapted for
trellis, verandas, arbors, etc. The flowers, about an inch across, are borne in large
clusters; color, blood-red, with yellowish throat. They flower profusely until killed by
frost, and make a fine show Pkt. 10c.
