Large-flow^ering Salpiglossis 



(Painted Tongue) 



These are one of the very finest annuals, and are of the easiest culture, suc- 

 ceeding in any good ordinary soil and in a sunny position. The plants grow 

 from 24 to 30 inches high, and produce freely from mid-summer until frost their 

 attractive Gloxinia-like blossoms in a very large and unusual range of colors. 

 They are splendid for cutting, lasting well. Seed may be started indoors or in 

 a hotbed about the end of March, or sown outdoors when danger from frost is 

 passed and the ground is in good condition. For best results the plants should not 

 be set closer than 12 inches apart.

Salvia Splendens (scariet sage)

 vatory decoration, bearing long spikes of flowers in great profusion from July 

 to frost; seeds should be sown as early as possible either indoors or in a hotbed, 

 and the young plants transferred to their flowering quarters when the weather 

 has become settled and warm. May also be sown in the open ground in May.

 15 inches high, with the spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well 

 above the plant, making a total height of about 2 feet; the importance 

 of this uniformity will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet Sage 

 for beds or borders. Per I oz., 75 cts $0 25
