| | | |taken to insure its

| | | |changes of warm water or
| | | |else very carefully notch
| | | |the shell of the seed with

| | | |June to October and have
| | | |little room for vines,
| | | |these morning-glories
| | | |will prove a new
| | | |experience, for in flower
| | | |and leaf they present an
| | | |infinite variety of shape
| | | |and marking. The flowers
| | | |are both self-coloured as
| | | |well as marbled, spotted,
| | | |striped, margined, and
| | | |fringed.
