NEW DWARF GIANT FLOWERING 
All the plants are bushy and compact in 
growfh, 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.

like from a golden yellow throat. The ground 
color is light chamois. This color combination 
is entirely new in Salpiglossis. 
3614 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.
