than any other blue in the garden with 

 the exception of a few Delphiniums. 

 It should be planted not for massed 

 effect, but rather to increase the color 

 scheme of the border and therefore, 

 six to twelve plants, planted in clumps 

 every little distance in the border has 

 a very pleasing effect. 



Salvia patens. This plant requires 

 a little more heat in the seedling stage 

 and when possible should be worked 

 into pots before planting out, so as to 

 form strong individual plants, as the 

 habit of this plant is to send shoots 

 or stems from the crown. It does not 

 branch like S. uliginosa and S. fari- 

 nacea, so, therefore, the stronger the 

 crowns the more flowers will be pro- 

 duced. The plant produces herbace- 

 ous roots and where possible it should 

 be taken up in the fall, potted and 

 kept in a cool greenhouse all winter; 

 in this way other strong plants are 

 formed and the true character comes 

 out the following season. It should be 

 used more as a bedding plant than as 

 a cut flower plant as the flowers do not 

 stay long when cut, but when left on 

 the flower stems continue to grow in 

 length and as soon as one flower falls 

 another is formed, thus keeping up a 

 continuous mass of blooms the major 

 part of the summer months. To be 

 effective it must be massed and if used 

 with Hunnemannia fumariaefolia it 

 makes a good combination. 



Mr. Candler has by no means ex- 

 hausted the subject of salvias. There 

 are several others which are well 

 worth the attention of growers. Mr. 

 Richard Rothe considers Salvia vir- 

 gata nemorosa one of the best of the 

 perennial sages. This plant has beau- 

 tiful dark blue spikes which are pro- 

 duced during the latter part of June 

 and through the month of July. The 

 accompanying illustration shows this 

 salvia in bloom. 



Then there are the different forms 

 of the native species. Salvia Greggi, 

 which are of medium height and with 

 a bushy habit of growth.
