JAPANESE IMPERIAL OR GIANT
MORNING GLORY.
As the Angel of Morn speeds on the rays of early dawn
from east to west, the dewy trumpets of the Morning
(4 lory announce her coming and carpets her way from
ocean to ocean.
The flowers of these New Mammoth Morning Glories
are as large as moonflowers, often (. inches across, and
the petals of many are beautifully fringed and ruffled.
The vines begin to bloom when 2 to 3 feet high and con-
tinue to bear flowers by the hundreds until frost. The
flowers are not only large but superior in every way to
the common kind. The petals are thicker, which gives
the colors a deeper and richer look. The flowers are
strangely and beautifully marked and colored in a way
never seen before. Snowy throats with blood-red border,
velvet plum bordered wi'th white, snow-white through
all possible shades of blue, and of red from palest pink
to darkest reds and purples. They are streaked, mottled ,
striped, marbled and bordered in a wonderful fashion,
and sometimes show rare shadings of ash gray, bronze,
brown and slate-blue, colors rarely found in any other
flowers. To gain time start the seeds in small pots in the
house in March or April, and plant in a warm, sunny
place.
