Large-flowering 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 in- 
doors 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. a8 FESR.

one of the most effective plants either as individual specimens or in beds

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 sown in the open ground in May. For
