Painted Tongue—Salpiglossis 
Nicotiana, Affinis White 2 feet 
A half hardy annual that is a worth-while 
addition to every garden. A member of the 
tobacco family. Its branching stems rise 
above the vivid green leaves and bear clus- 
ters of white flowers opening in evening. 
Resemble petunias but with longer tubes. 
Emit sweet perfume early morning and 
evening. 
Nicotiana Crimson Bedder 
15 to 18 inches 
A beautiful annual with showy, trumpet 
shaped, deep crimson flowers closing during 
midday but opening near evening. The de- 
lightfully fragrant, petunia-like flowers 
have a five-lobed, star-shaped corolla that 
adds beauty to beds and borders or to 
bouquets. 
Nigella or Love in the Mist 18 inches 
This peculiar, hardy annual gets its name 
from its odd blue blossom which is partly 
concealed in the dense feathery foliage. 
The plant grows in oval-bush form, and 
requires very little care in any garden. 
The seed pods are as curious looking as the 
blooms. 
Old Fashioned Garden Mixture 
This is a mixture of many varieties of 
annual flowers including the sorts so popu- 
lar in the old gardens of years ago. Beds 
or borders seeded to this mixture are al- 
ways a source of interest and many sur- 
prises. Includes both tall and dwarf varie- 
ties. 
Painted Tongue, Salpiglossis 21% ft. 
Many have called it the orchid of semi- 
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 usually 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 semi-hardy perennial is a favorite 
everywhere. The bright, smiling faces of 
pansies give cheer all through the late 
Spring, Summer and Fall. A moist, sunny lo- 
cation 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. 
Giant Fancy, Mixed 6 to 8 inches 
A mixture of large flowering sorts. 
Giant Trimardeau, Mixed 6 to 8 in. 
This mixture has a complete color range 
but the more popular shades are the dark 
ones. A large flowered bedding variety con- 
taining a wide range of colors and types. 
Maple Leaf Giants, Mixed 8 inches 
An entirely distinct type of pansy with 
exceedingly large blooms and wide range of 
colors. 
Pansy, Swiss Giants, Mixed 6 to 8 in. 
Perennial. Large round flowers in excep- 
tional range of colors including red-browns. 
Bloom early in Spring and continue until 
late Fall.
