Salvia Splendens (Scarlet Sage) 



SAUPIGLOSSIS (Painted Tongue). 



The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites among annu- 

 als, 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. ) per pkt.
