SALPIGLOSSIS—Giant Flowered Type 
This new Dwarf strain of Salpiglossis grows two feet high, 
has flowers that measure from two to three inches across, has 
a brighter color range and is very attractive because of the 
uniform height when in bloom. The uniform height is about 
one foot less than the ordinary variety. This gives the flowers 
a much larger appearance. They are all strong growers and 
produce thick, bushy, symmetrical plants. We predict a great 
future for this dwarf type of Salpiglossis.

weather has become settled.
