SALPIGLOSSIS (Painted Tongue) Large Flowered [hA- 

 2J^ ft.] For delicate grace, richness of coloring, and 

 velvety texture the regal Salpiglossis has practically no 

 equal. From a low base of leaves rise slender wiry stalks 

 which bear one or more large lily-like flowers in a magnifi- 

 cent range of colors. The gold veining of their deep throats 

 is often pronounced and adds to their beauty. It is of 

 easy culture and a great favorite in the open and for 

 cutting.

SALVIA (Flowering Sage) Unrivalled for its dazzling color 

 in masses or as a hedge, Scarlet Sage maintains its popu- 

 larity from year to year. The dense dark green foliage 

 of the compact plants forms a fine background for the 

 countless spikes of tubular florets. 



The blue varieties are less showy, but for beauty of 

 coloring or as cut flowers they are very desirable. 



Although Salvias are perennial and will live on in a 

 mild climate, they should be treated as annuals and will 

 bloom readily the first season if started early indoors.

 inches long crowned with saucer-shaped blooms, 3 inches 

 or more across. The flower is made up of an outer row of 

 fluffy petaled florets and inner rings of massed tubular 

 petals often with the center remaining in bud. A beautiful 

 hardy sort, ideal in the permanent border, and blooming 

 through the summer months.

 slender, splendid for cutting.
