Salvia "Scarlet Dragoon" 



A most magnificent summer and autumn flowering bedding plant. The old 

 Salvia Splendens.or Scarlet Sage as it is popularly known, has long been a favorite, 

 and our customers can partially appreciate the superiority of this new variety when 

 we state that the flowers are nearly double the size, or fully *j inches across, closely 

 crowding the immense spikes that often measure tj inche,s across. Full-grown plants 

 In bloom form compact bushes 3 feet through by 3 feet high, and bloom from 

 ground to summit. We know of nothing that can equal the gorgeous effect of a 

 row or bed of these Salvias, when in full wealth of bloom: the waving masses of 

 glistening scarlet, against green surroundings of lawn or foliage is incomparably 

 matchless. [See cat.) Price, per packet of 100 seeds, 25c.

 bushes 4 inches high by t; inches in diameter, bearing double, bright, rosy carmine 

 flowers in such great numbers that they literally hide the plant. The inflated 

 calyces holding the flowers are darkreddish brown like the autumn tints of the 

 Virginia Creeper, the combination beii% very effective. Seed sown in the spring

 type of "Sweet Scabious" with round and 

 extra double flower heads, 6 to 9 inches

 and bouquet work. The dainty 

 bea'ity of the coloring in this 

 variety is another of its great 

 charms ; a silvery lavender, 

 shading in the depths of the 

 tb.wer to a deeper lilac of 

 rosy hue; must be seen to be 

 fully appreciated. The plants grow

 nized as one of the handsomest of hardy 

 perennials, forming dense spreading plants

 obtained the highest perfection of this type; the immense flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are 

 haughtily poised on stiff stalks lVa to 2 feet long, making them of exceptional value when 

 cut for vases, etc. The coloring of the flowers is exquisite, a most beautiful lilac blue, shading to 

 deep water blue. The old variety is single flowering, while " Perfecta' 1 is semi-double, having 3 to 

 4 rows of petals — a fine novelty Pkt. 20c.

 too large, about 5 inches across and varied in char- 

 acter, some being flat, broad petalled. others with 

 narrower, curled or twisted petals like the single 

 Cactus Dahlias; but all are borne on long, sup- 

 ple, but strong branches, poising and arranging 

 gracefully, giving an elegant and aesthetic 

 effect. The plants grow in branching pyramidal 

 form .", feet in diameter at the base, tapering to 

 the top. about 5 feet from the ground. The
