 flowering sow the Seed indoors in March or April, or outside as soon as the warm 

 weather appears. H. H. P. Pkt. 



Salvia Harbinger — A new English variety just introduced. A tardiness to come 

 into bloom of other varieties has been a drawback but this is quite overcome

 produce, in profusion, their long spikes of dazzling bright scarlet flowers 

 early in June and maintain a blaze of color until fi'ost. The plants are dwarf 



and compact in habit with strong dark green foliage 35
