NEW EMPEROR SALPIGLOSSIS 



The ease of culture is the first 

 quality that commends the Salpi- 

 glossis to all amateur gardeners. 

 It thrives in any good garden soil 

 and in almost any sitnation, 

 though like other flowers it re- 

 sponds readily to good treatment. 

 This New Emperor strain is a very 

 great improvement on the older 

 type in its increased size of flow- 

 ets, their improved shape and 

 larger variety of colors, and more 

 than all else in their singularly 

 beautiful veinings of gold. See 

 cut above, pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts.
