The Cardinal Climber THE CARDINAE CEIMBER (Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) 2158 We named and introduced this glorious and absolutely distinct annual climber in 1912, and it is now generally considered the most beautiful and brilliant annual climber ever sent out. It is a strong and rapid grower, attaining a height of 30 feet or more, with beautiful fern-like foliage, and literally covered with a blaze of circular cardinal-red flowers from mid-summer till frost. The flowers, about IJ inches in diameter, are borne in clusters of 5 to 7 each, and wherever it has been grown has attracted more attention and favorable comment than any other plant in the garden. Like other Ipomoeas, it de- lights in a warm, sunny situation and good soil. The seed may be started indoors in March or April in a temperature of not less than 70 degrees and the plants set out when the weather gets warm, but it is just as well to wait uniil the weather gets warm and settled and then sow out of doors. In either case germination will be hastened and made more cer- tain by filing or cutting a small notch in each seed. They are likely to germinate poorly unless this precaution is taken. If sown in cold, wet ground the seed is liable to rot. Packets containing about 25 seeds each, 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
