2% feet high, and produce long spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers. The 
spikes stand out stiff and erect; over 200 spikes to a plant is not un- 
usual, and the spikes bear from 20 to 30 flowers each. Gorgeouseffects. 
can be produced with the Bonfire Saivia massed on the lawn or in the 
garden, or planted in rows along a sunny drive, where the brilliant 
scarlet is simply dazzling. Perennial, but blooms the first season from
