Salpiglossis—A 
One of the easiest of annuals to grow, the salpiglossis is in appear¬ 
ance an aristocrat, which is prized in the gardens of the wealthy. It 
is rich in deep color tones rare in the floral world, which are set off 
by veins of gold, marking every petal. The rule, for growing salpi¬ 
glossis, is give it room and do not coddle. Sow in the full sun in 
fairly rich soil as early as possible, and do not crowd. Its blossoms, 
similar in shape to a petunia, on strong stems are borne profusely 
until frosts kill the plants.
