Tie Brazilian Morning Glory. (IpomozaSetosa.) Magnificent summer climbingannual. It grows with the greatest vigor and luxuriance, branching and climbingin all directions. The leaves are 8 to 12 inches across and are borne from theground up, overlapping each other and making a dense shade. Every part of thevine is thickly covered with short reddish hairs which, with its immense leavesand large clusters of curious seed capsules, render it highly ornamental and giveit quite a tropical appearance. We know of nothing so good for quickly coveringa piazza, arbor or tree, and where a dense shade is required it has no equal. Theflowers, which open in the morning, are three inches or more across, of a beauti-ful rose color, and are borne in large clusters very freely from Julv tofrost Pkt. 15 LATHYRUS. (Hardy Sweel Peas.)Xiatifolius. Hardy climbers, growing 6 to 8 feet high when trained on a trellis;the flowers are borne in large clusters. Bed, White or Mixed Splendens. The Pride of California.
