May's Garden Plants—Very Profusely Blooming 
MAY'S SALPIGLOSSIS 
VELVET 
FLOWER 
THE MOST exquisite and unique of all the garden annuals. This plant grows 
about 24 inches high bearing sturdy stalks that require no staking. The 
flowers are not unlike the petunia in shape, but in coloring they resemble the 
orchid. They are of velvety texture in yellow, mahogany, bright red, maroon, 
purple, lavender or pink, veined with the most delicate tracing of the 
deeper shades and softly shadowed toward the center. They are beau- 
tiful as cut flowers, and remain fresh an unusually long time.
