SALPIGLOSSIS, Painted Tongue, AF 
Undoubtedly one of the most attractive annuals and should 
be in every garden. The blossoms are tube-shaped much like

the only flower to our knowledge possessing this odd charac¬

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.
