Salpiglossis—A 
One of the easiest of annuals to grow, the salpiglossis is in appear¬

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 partial shade 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.
