SALPIGLOSSIS 
The Salpiglossis is a beautiful garden annual. 
The magnificent flowers, large and funnel- 
shaped, present an extremely pleasing var¬ 
iety of colors in mottled, veined and self- 
colored forms. They require good rich soil, 
and will amply repay in glorious effect good 
care and treatment. 
BRECK’S CHOICE STRAIN.—This we believe 
to be the finest strain yet produced; very 
large flowers beautifully pencilled and 
veined, in rich shades of crimson, purple 
and 
yellow.

SALVIA 
(Flowering Sage) 
Salvias are extremely popular and satisfactory 
bedding plants. The extreme brilliancy and 
abundance of their flowers combined with 
their graceful branching habit makes 
them one of the most gorgeous and effective 
late summer and autumn-flowering plants. 
Seed should be sown in the greenhouse or hot¬ 
bed during February or March in a tempera¬ 
ture of from 60 to 70 degrees. Cover the 
seed to a depth of only four times their 
size and press firmly with a board. Water 
with a fine spray as needed, never allowing 
them to dry out. Transplant to small pots 
when 2 or 3 leaves have formed. Set out 
in the open border when all danger from 
frost is passed.
