SALPIGLOSSIS, EMPEROR 



A new, giant-flowering race of this beautiful and popular garden annual. The 

 immense, Petunia-like flowers are borne on dwarf, sturdy branching plants, not 

 exceeding 24 inches in height, and do not require staking. The colors, red, 

 blue, yellow, pink, etc., in varioxis shades, are intricately netted, penciled and 

 veined with golden-yellow or other colors. They are of the easiest culture and 

 flower profusely during the summer. A bed of Emperor Salpiglossis in flower 

 is strikingly beautiful. The long-stemmed flowers are also fine for cut flower 

 decorations. {See engraving.)

 3624 Scarlet Dragoon. A most magnificent summer 



and autumn-flowering bedding plant. The old 



Salvia Splendens, or Scarlet Sage, has long been 



a favorite, and our customers can partially 



appreciate the superiority of this new 



variety when we state that the flowers 



are nearly double the size, closely 



crowding the immense spikes that 



often measure 6 inches across. Full- / 



grown plants in bloom form com- / 



pact bushes 3 feet through by 3 ■' 



feet high, and bloom from ground 



to summit. The waving masses 



of glistening scarlet against green 



surroundings of lawn or foliage is 



matchless. (.See engraving.) Per
