SALPIGLOSSIS. 



In my collection of annuals exhibited at the Minnesota State 

 Fair last fall, nothing attracted more attention than a showy- 

 vase of Salpiglo9sis; known also as "Wild Beauties of Bogota. ' 

 It bears very graceful, funnel-shaped flowers, appearing in 

 clusters on long stems in innumerable colors— yellow, orange, 

 crimson, bronze, lilac, blue, purple and almost black shades, the 

 petals in each case being curiously marbled and penciled. It is 

 of easy cultivation needing only the care in sowing that all fine 

 seeds should J*ave. A splendid keeper and fine for cutting. An- 

 nual. 18 to 20 inches. Mixed. Pkt., 4 cts. 



SALVIA SPLENDENS. 



A well known garden or window plant. In its 

 flowering season it is covered with long sprays nf 

 brilliant scarlet flowers— sometimes 200 on a single 

 plant— producing a very striking effect. Pkt., 4c 



Salvia Argentia. A low-growing plant, its large, 

 broad leaves appearing in a tuft from the center. 

 Valuable for its foliage. Its light green leaves are 

 covered with a thick coat of glossy hair, giving a 

 wonderfully beautiful silvery appearance. Splen- 

 did for edgings, or the foliage bed. Pkt., 3 cts. 



SAIMVITALIA PROCUMBENS. 



A beautiful low, half-trailing plant, fine for pots, 

 baskets, rockwork or edgings. The blossoms are 

 yellow, about an inch in diameter and very fall, and 

 make one think of a miniature double sunflower. 

 Very pretty. Pkt., 5 cts.
