STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED SEEDS 
PYRETHRUM 
SALVIA 
SALPIGLOSSIS (Painted Tongue) 
Few annual flowers contribute such a wealth of bloom from summer 
until cut down by frost. It is only of recent years that American 
gardeners have become better acquainted with this delightful annual. 
As a cut-flower it has become highly prized. The funnel-shaped 
flowers, facing upward, revealing their exquisite markings of either 
gold or silver veins running through the groundwork of the flow¬ 
ers, and their orchid-like appearance, make them instant favorites. 
Seeds may be sown in the open ground in spring, or for earlier 
flowering sow in a hotbed or sunny window, and when all danger 
of frost is past, place in the garden, allowing 9 inches between the 
plants.
