It is a strong and rapid grower, attaining a height of 30 feet or more, with beautiful fern-like foli- age, and literally covered with a blaze of circu- lar cardinal-red flowers from mid-summer till frost. The flowers, about 1J inches in diameter, are borne in clusters of 5 to 7 each, and where- ever it has been grown has attracted more at- tention and favorable comment than any other plant in the garden. Like other Ipomceas, it delights 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 until the weather gets warm and settled and then sow out of doors. In either case germination will be hastened and made more certain 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. Dreer's Mammoth-flowering "Verbenas One of our specialties.
