A Google search has several references to double morning glory seeds.

i didn't check them out to see if specifically a white one is available.

I seem to recall your double white from the Burpee seed catalog from the late 1800's that they had reprinted and distributed to anyone who wanted one.

I misplaced/lost mine in a recent move.

I remember seeing a drawing of double morning glories in one of the "Burpee Heirlooms" catalog that Burpee's distributed a few years ago. A paragraph of the text mentioned that the variety had apparently become extinct.

There is a morning glory from Japan named Double Blue Picotee - one of the convovulus rather than ipomoea varieties - that is currently carried by several seed companies; but it's obviously not white!

I'm not sure if this helps, but as a newbie to vegetable gardening I seem to have lots and lots of tomato seedlings. They are burpee beef steak variety (large). I also have what I'm beginning to fear is lots of peppers. My husband bought 3 different packets - a mix of 5 different hot peppers, bell peppers, and habanero. Through some kind of mix up they are all mixed up and pepper seeds all look alike to me. I know for certain some of the 5 spicy ones, but since it was a mix packet it will still be a surprise. The other tray of my peppers is all mixed up between the 3 packets. I live in minneapolis email r.l.john@hotmail.com

If you're looking for a trade I have some fairly unique giant coneflower seeds that I could send you in exchange for a couple of your lupines. These coneflowers get roughly 7-8' tall and have huge leaves. The flower is about 3-4" across and is yellow, not overly showy, but the plant always attracts attention. Oddly, men seem to be impressed by them. haha Cheryl

All my morning glory vines have been slow to bloom and very late this year. The weather is affecting them in strange ways this year. They should bloom in the next few weeks for you. In the past I have given them a dose of miracle grow fertilizer mixed with the water when watering the vines. That has helped to give them a jump to bloom. Fran

Yes, and sources for that one and others are in the Google link I gave above.

Oh to be able to grow what some of the older catalogs showed. Sigh.

Janie44:
A couple of years ago I was doing some landscape work in a parking lot. I noticed a morning glory vine struggling along in a crack in the asphalt under a adjacent property's fence. A few weeks later it bloomed and at first I thought they were mutant flowers or something was wrong with them. They were double and they were pure white. I collected about a dozen seeds and I have grown a new plant from seed for three years now. They come true to type. Individually the flowers are not that impressive but from a distance the vine in full bloom is quite nice. (I like white flowers.) Except for being pure white they look like the double pink MG "Sunrise Serenade" offered in the 05 Seed Savers Exchange retail cataloge. Email me if you still want a few seeds. If you have any more info on these flowers enlighten me.

Mark,
Do you have a photo of these flowers that you could post?

Sorry motherduck:
No photos available. I have mailed out some seed and perhaps someone with the right equipment etc. can do that. Or, maybe some one with a copy of that old Burpee catalog can scan a description and post it. If you want some seed email me. I like veggies, alliums especially! I used to raise chickens and hope to do so again. Spare any feathers for fly tying?

Out of double morning glory seed for now. If have you contacted me as 01/29/05 and send me an address before this spring you are OK and covered. I joined Seed Saver's Echange and am reserving some seed for that. If you want to trade for some seed and you email me, then I need a Garden Web name, an address, and an offer of something unusual in return. I like heirloom veggies, edible alliums, peanuts and sweetpotatos.

Janie, its been a while since you posted, but I got some double morning glory seeds as a trade (I wish I remember who I got them from - he called them "Buffy's Morning Glory") - well they bloomed for me this year and are beautiful. I will be taking pictures and collecting seeds which I would love to share with other GWebers as this is a beautiful plant which needs to be enjoyed and brought back into circulation.
