 Silvery Lavender blooms rising from a dense mass of foliage during the entire sea-

NEW SALPIGLOSSIS, 



EMPEROR. 



The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites among annuals. It holds this 

 hiah place because of the ease with which it is grown, the beauty of its almost or- 

 chiil-like flowers, and its continuous habit of blooming, the flowers being produced 

 during the whole summer. This new variety shows marked distinctions in botn its 

 ilowers and habit, whether seen at a distance or examined closely, it lorms only 

 one leading stem, which often grows as thick as one's finger and bears on its end a 

 bouquet of the most beautiful flowers. Every one of them is richly veined with 

 gold, and they are mtich larger than those of the old type. There is as muen differ- 

 ence between 'the "Emperor" variety and the old type as there is be:iween the improved varieties of petunias and tht 

 common petunias. In short, this novelty is so remarkably beautiful that experts both in this country and abroad pronounce j 

 it something really extraordinary. Pkt., 150 seeds, 8c. " '
