SALVIAS OR SCARLET SAGES 



The Salvias or Flowering Sages are well known among the brightest and most brilliant colored Autumn 

 flowers we have, and highly valued for bedding, in garden or lawn. Unequaled for a dazzling show of 

 fiery scarlet. Plants grow 2 to 3 feet high, branch freely, begin to bloom in July or August, and make a 

 perfect blaze of fiery scarlet color, lasting till long after other flowers are gone. 



Salvia Splendens — The finest scarlet bedder, grows 2 to 3 

 feet high, begins to bloom in July or August, makes a per- 

 fect blaze of fiery scarlet color long after other flowers are 

 gone. Makes an excellent border plant for a bed of Cannas. 

 Price, 10c. each. 



Golden=Leaved Salvia — Flowers bright fiery crimson, and 

 leaves rich, golden yellow, shining as if varnished. This 

 variety shows up well when planted with others. Price, 

 10c. each. 



Bonfire (Clara Bed man) — Neat, compact grower, intense 

 fiery crimson flowers, making a sheet of brilliant bloom 

 for many weeks. Price, 10c. each. 



Mottled Gem — The distinctive feature of this variety is its 

 strikingly handsome spotted foliage. The leaves are soft 

 green, liberally sprinkled with light colored spots of vari- 

 ous sizes; also bears large bright scarlet flowers. Price, 

 10c. each. 



For brilliant, dazzling effect, plant Salvias in a border, row or 

 solid bed.
