 den about the end of May. They bloom pro- 

 fusely from July until frost. 



3619 Blaze of Fire. Bred primarily for dwarf- 

 ness and for early flowering. This plant does 

 not grow over- 12 inches in height, and begins 

 blooming at least 10 days earlier than any other 

 early flowering Salvia. 



Per 1000 seeds, $2.00; pkt.. 25c 



3622 Bonfire. Very compact, oval bushes, 21/2 

 feet high; brilliant scarlet flowers. The spikes

 not unusual and they bear from 20 to 30 flowers

3625 Rose Flame. This superb 1950 All America 

 Silver Medal Winner really should be called 

 Coral Sage since the flowers are a stunning rich 

 coral pink color which we know will be wel- 

 come especially by those who consider the 

 brilliant scarlet shades of the other Salvias too 

 intense for their garden color scheme. That does 

 not mean that those who admire the rich red 

 varieties would not want it. There have been 

 other pink Salvias but none ever came anywhere 

 near this gorgeous color Pkt., 25c
