ANCHUSA ANNUAL 
“BLUE BIRD” 
The perennial Anchusa, in its highest 
development the Dropmore variety, is 
deservedly popular by its lovely bright 
blue flowers, its floriferousness and long 
period of bloom. This esteem has been 
shared to some extent by the annual An- 
chusa, but its straggly habit has always 
been a drawback, especially for small 
gardens. This fault has been entirely 
eliminated in our novelty, which grows 
about 18 inches high, is of compact habit 
and bears its flowers in a luxuriant bou- 
quet at the top of the plant. The latter 
are of a vivid indigo blue and of brilliant 
effect in any scheme for the decoration 
of beds and. borders.

SALVIA SPLENDENS 
“HARBINGER” 
As the most brilliant of all bedding plants the Salvia well 
deserves its pride of place. A certain tardiness to come into 
bloom and a paucity of flowers in some varieties have been 
drawbacks, but these are quite overcome in this variety which 
‘we introduce. Plants raised from seed sown at the end of 
February commence to produce in profusion their lang spikes 
of dazzling bright scarlet flowers early in June, and maintain a 
blaze of colour until the frosts. A more magnificent article for 
summer bedding can hardly be imagined. The plant are dwarf 
and compact in habit and the strong dark foliage forms an 
effective foil to the vivid hue of the flowers. We consider 
this one of the finest novelties. It received an Award of 
Merit (unanimous) from the R. H. S. in 1925. Many exper- — 
ienced growers state their opinion that “Harbinger” will 
henceforth be the premier Salvia in cultivation.
