The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites among annuals, partly because of its easy culture, but principally for its beauti- ful, almost orchid-like flowers, which it produces from early summer until late fall. Seed should be sown early in spring in a hotbed or window and trans- planted when weather is settled or directly out of doors after danger of frost. (See cut.) IflPROVED LARGE=FLOWERlNG.
