Salpiglossis (A) 
Undoubtedly one of the most attractive annuals and 
should be in every garden. The blossoms are tube

the beautiful colors displayed. Nearly every flower 
is veined with a glint of gold, and it is the only 
flower to our knowledge possessing this odd charac¬ 
teristic. The flowers are large and last well in water, 
really better than when on the plants.
