| Vick's floral guide for 1875 |
A while ago I posted an old article extolling the virtues of petunias as a winter window plant.
Now I find another summer favorite, the morning glory, might also be a good winter plant! In an 1877 issue of the Fruit Recorder and Cottage Gardener a Mr. Rowe says it does very well.
This comment is backed up 20 years later by James Vick in his Vick's Illustrated Monthly Magazine so I think it must be good advice.
If they are, it would certainly go a long way towards making the cold days of February and March more bearable!
The proud lady gardener's dress pattern seems a small version of the pattern made by her morning glories!
