SCHLING'S NEW CANDELABRA VARIETIES 
Instead of branching out from the bottom, the plants of this sensational 
new type send up a strong center stem, which, in rich soil attains the 
height of 4 to 5 feet. Commencing about 18 inches above the ground and 
along its entire length, this stem sends forth slender side branches full of 
beautifully marked, large, petunia-like flowers, branching more freely towards the end of the stem and finally end- 
ing with a veritable bouquet. The whole plant has a wonderful appearance and in the border is as stately and 
effective as our finest delphiniums. The individual flowers, too, are larger than the ordinary Salpiglossis, and the 
colorings and markings include all the finest shades found in orchids. 
Collection, 1 pkt. each of 6 separate colors, $1.50

plants are large enough, transplant singly into small pots, and set out when all danger 
of frost is past.
