SALVIA SPLENDENS. 



: : : SCARLET DRAGOON. : : : 



A most magnificent summer and autumn flowering bedding- 

 plant. The old Salvia Splendens, or Scarlet Sage, 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, closely crowding the im- 

 mense spikes that often measure 6 inches 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 bloom; the- 

 waving masses of glistening scarlet against green sur- 

 roundings of lawn or foliage is matchless. (See cut.) 



Per 1,000 seeds, 75c Pkt. 15c. 



" The Sah-ia ' Scarlet Dragoon ' turned out splendidly ; 

 it is still a blaze of color, and the people around here are- 

 constantly remarking on its splendid appearance.' 1
