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 ending 
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 in¬ 
clude all the finest shades found in orchids. 
Collection: One pkt. each of 6 separate colors, $1.50; Finest Mixed, pkt. 25 cts.
