SALPIGLOSSIS (S. sinuata, var. Maroon Golden-veined). 3 ft. A red 

 variety veined with yellow. See Salpiglossis, White An., Aug. 



SAL VTA (S. splendens, var. Clara Bedmari). 2 ft. A branching variety 

 with dark-green leaves, and both the calyx and corolla of the flowers are 

 brilliant red. Not a satisfactory house plant, though it may be raised 

 from seed in the house and planted out in summer. Rather a tender 

 plant in the North, but if protected from the first early frosts, will prob- 

 ably bloom until Oct. Give a deep rich soil and an occasional bath of 

 soap-suds through the summer. 



WALLFLOWER (Chieranthus cheiri, var. Early Parisian). 1-3 ft. A 

 bright blood-red variety of this most delicious flower, whose fragrance is 

 unequaled. When a plant is well established, it can be lifted, and taken 

 indoors, where it will bloom almost continuously for months if the seed- 

 vessels are removed as fast as they form. Prune to secure a bushy 

 growth. Give a deep rich soil, moisture and sun. Strong plants are se- 

 cured from cuttings that root easily and make a woody growth in a year 

 or two. Not quite hardy out of doors in the North.
