LPIGLOSSIS,- The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites among our annuals. It has now this high placepartly by its easy culture, but principally by its beautiful, in their design almost orchid-like flowers, whichit produces during the whole summer. This novelty shows a very marked and strilting distinction in habitas well as in its flowers, if seen in the distance or closely examined. It forms only one single leadingstem, which often grows as thick as a finger, and bears on its end a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers.Every one of them is richly veined with gold, and considerably larger than those of the old grandifloratype. There is about as much difference between these two varieties as there is between a Petunia super-bissima and a common Petunia. The throat is wide open and short. The edge of the flower is not sodeeply incurved as with the old variety, which gives it a more round shape. Per pkt., 15 cts.;2 for 25 cts. 12 RAWSONS NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS.
