NORTHRUP, KING & CO..S VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS 

Painted Tongue—Salpiglossis 
Painted Tongue, Salpiglossis 21, ft. 
Many have called it the orchid of hardy 
annual flowers. It has individuality and 
colorings found in no other variety. The 
blooms are funnel-shaped, something like a 
petunia, only larger, and are borne on long 
stems. Several blooms are sometimes on 
one stem. The range of colors includes blue, 
brown, red, purple, rose and violet, and 
nearly every flower is veined with a glint 
of gold. The color veining in all the blooms 
is marvelous. Of easy culture, blooms dur- 
ing June, July, August. 
PANSY 
This hardy annual is a favorite every- 
where. The bright, smiling faces of pansies 
give cheer all through the late Spring, 
Summer and Fall. A moist, sunny location 
with rich, loamy soil is required for best 
results. Cool weather produces larger 
blooms. Some specialists claim the plants 
must be transplanted twice to get large 
flowers—once from a seed box to a bed and 
then to an open garden.
