Everlasting Strawflower 
This rare flower is an ornament when growing and is 
especially prized for winter decoration in vases as they 
remain just the same after they are cut. Flowers intended 
for drying should be gathered when partially unfolded 
and suspended with heads downward in a cool place for a 
while, they can then be placed in vases and will remain 
the same indefinitely. No. 1157—15c. 
Sweet William—18 in. to 24 in. The varieties are an 
improvement on the old-fashioned kinds, inasmuch as the 
colors and size of flowers are far superior, being grown 
from select seed Sweet William looks well in solid beds 
or masses and requires a good, rich, well-manured soil 
to grow them to perfection : excellent border plants and 
tine for cut flowers. This is sure to please in the varied 
and unique coloring and markings of the flowers. If you 
plant out one perennial plant this.

SALPIGLOSSIS 
Painted Tube Tongue 
Undoubtedly one of the 
most attractive annuals 
and should be in every 
garden. The blossoms are 
tube-shaped much like a 
Petunia but rivalling the 
latter in the beautiful 
colors displayed. Each 
flower is veined with a 
glint of gold, and it is 
the only flower to our 
knowledge possessing this 
odd characteristic. The 
Salpiglossis is deservedly 
known as the Orchid of 
Hardy Annuals. If you 
are not familiar with 
this try one package and 
we know your garden will 
always contain it after 
you have seen it.
