TECOM^ VELUTINJt. ^^|'^! 



inence to this beautiful shrub because 

 its desirable qualities are comparatively 

 unknown. It bears large spikes of large, 

 golden yellow, allamanda-like flowers. 

 It blossoms from seed when only isJ 

 inches high, and is a continuous and 

 perpetual bloomer. It grows 10 to 16 

 feet high in California and is always 

 full of flowers. It should be tested in 

 the greenhouse, for it far surpasses T, 

 Smithii in every way. The seeds are very 

 light, germinate quickly, and plants 

 grow rapidly. Pkt., 30 seeds, 10c.

NEW SJtLPIGLOSSIS. C'Emperor.**) Ease of culture is the 



first quality that commends Salpiglos- 

 sis to all amateur gardeners. It thrives in any good garden soil and in al- 

 most any situation, though, like other flowers, it responds readily to good 

 treatment. The new Emperor strain is a very great improvement on the 

 older type in its increased size of flowers, their improved shape and 

 larger variety of colors, and, more than all else, in their singularly beau- 

 tiful veinings of gold. These are the only flowers, to our knowledge, 

 that show a glint of gold in their coloring. Packet, 800 seeds, 6c.
