Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. SALPIGLOSSIS SALTBUSHES 1603 beautifully marbled and penciled with several colors. Calyx tubular, 5-cleft: corolla funnelt'orm, widely bell shaped at the throat; lobes 5, plicate, emargiuate: stamens 4, didynamous: capsule oblong or ovoid; valves 2-cIeft. The varieties of Salpiglossis require the general treatment given half-hardy annuals. They prefer a deep, light rich soil not given to sadden extremes of moisture and dryness. The seeds may be sown indoors by the middle of March, or later, or may be sown out- doors in early spring. Care must be taken that the early sown plants do not become stunted before being planted out. They bloom for several weeks in late summer. The flowers are useful for cutting and last well in water. The plant is also excellent as a green- house annual for late winter bloom. Seeds for this pur- pose may be sown in late summer. sinu^ta, Ruiz and Pav. {S. varidhiUs, Hort. S. liy- hrida, Hort.
