 introduced. The plants grow into very compact oval bushes, about 

 2V2 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 Sowers each. Gorgeous effects 

 can be produced with the Bonfire Salvia 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 



seed. (Seecut.) Per 1.000 seeds. 75c Pit. 10
