ANNUAL POPPIES 
A great wealth of color con be obtained throughout the summer by lib¬ 
eral sowings of the Annual Poppies. During March, April, and May sow 
in lines or groups, and thin to about a foot apart. The seeds should be 
sown where the plants are intended to flower, because it is difficult to 
transplant with any measure of success.

fully marked with contrasting zones. A hardy perennial, but can be

SALPIGLOSSIS Half-Hardy Annual 
Salpiglossis are highly ornamental annuals, with large, veined, funnel- 
shaped flowers; much prized for cutting; very showy in beds or borders. 
A bed of these beautiful plants is one of the most striking features of the 
garden during July and August. Salpiglossis also make splendid pot plants 
for groups in the greenhouse. 
If an early display is wanted, a start should be mode at the end of 
February or beginning of March, by sowing on a moderate hotbed. In May 
the plants will be ready for flowering quarters. Or sow in April in the open 
ground where the plants are to remain. For flowering under glass, seed 
should be sown in August or September, and under cool-house treatment 
the plants will bloom profusely in the following spring.
