SALPIGLOSSIS (Painted Tongue) 
214 Feet 
One of the most attractive annuals and should be in every garden. The blos¬ 
soms are tube-shaped much like a Petunia but rivaling the latter in the beau¬ 
tiful colors displayed. Nearly every 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.

usually obtained from sowings made in boxes indoors and plants set out after
