Salpiglossis is a favorite garden annual, producing during the summer large 

 petunia-like flowers of blue, yellow, red, etc., all of which are intricately veined 

 and netted with some other color. The Emperor type hears its flowers along 

 one tall main stem about 30 inches high; this new dwarf strain differs only in 

 height, 18 to 20 inches; very showy for garden decoration.

/ SALVIA SPLENDENS, SC4 Koo N . 



%g^^~ 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 immense 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 orbed of these 

 ^ \ Salvias, when in full bloom; the waving masses of glisten- 

 ing scarlet against green surroundings of lawn or foliage is 



matchless. (See cut.) Per 1,000 seeds, 75c, Pkt. 15c. 



"The Salvia 'Scarlet Dragoon' turned out splendidly; 

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

 constantly remarking on its splendid appearance.'*
