SALPIGLOSSIS 
(Painted Tongue) 
The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites among annuals, 
partly because of its easy culture, but principally for its beautiful, 
almost orchid-like flowers, which it produces from early summer until late 
fall. Seed should be sown early in spring in a hotbed or window and 
transplanted when weather is settled or directly out of doors after danger 
of frost. The seed we offer is a select large-flowering strain. (See cut. )
