NEW DWARF GIANT FLOWERING 



All the plants are bushy and compact in 

 growth, growing to a height of 30 inches, which 

 is about 8 inches shorter than the spreading 

 Emperor type. No vigor has been lost in short- 

 ening the plants, and they will survive a hot 

 summer and outlast the old strain. The flowers 

 are formed in a group or cluster at the head of 

 each plant. They considerably surpass other 

 sorts in size and color combination. This strain 

 is excellent for bedding and cutting purposes. 



3612 Red Star. Wide red stripes spread star- 

 like from a golden yellow throat. The ground 

 color is light chamois. This, color combination 

 is entirely new in Salpiglossis. 



36V4 Blue and Silver. Here is an entirely new 

 Salpiglossis color. Instead of the usual gold 

 markings, this fine novelty sets off its deep mid- 

 blue color with silver veins. Every flower is 

 glistening gold at the base of its throat, and 

 this seems to enhance the shimmering markings 

 of the open face. 



3616 Velvety Violet. The flowers are a solid 

 deep violet right to the base of the throat, and 

 they have such a fine texture that they show a 

 velvet sheen.
