 also grown for conservatory 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 seven 

 in the open ground in May. per pkt.

SAI.PIGI.OSSIS 



(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. )
