New Salvia Splendens 



" DROOPING SPIKES. '» 



A splendid new large -flowering Salvia 

 (Scarlet Sage); bears three times as many 

 flowers as the ordinary Salvia Splendens, the 

 flower spikes being so heavily laden they droop 

 gracefully with their own weight. It is exceed- 

 ingly handsome and desirable for lawn or garden, 

 whether planted singly or in groups with other 

 flowers. The flowers are intense dazzling: 

 scarlet^ and are borne in endless profusion until 

 late in the Fall — one of the most beautiful Au- 

 tumn-blooming flowers you can have. Pkt.

Snow Ball" 



We take pleasure in recommending this 

 beautiful *' Snow Ball'' Petunia. The ill aa- 

 tration is a reproduction from photograph 

 showing its dwarf bushy habit and abundance 

 of bloom. The flowers are pure snow white, 

 of good shape and size, sweet scented and 

 lasting. It stands heat and drought well and 

 has few equals among pure white flowers ; for 

 beds and borders should be extensively 

 planted. Sure to please. Pkt. 6 cts.

New Lobelia, Bedding Queen 



This beautiful New Lobelia is well named Bedding" Queen, as it is a 

 real treasure for Beds and Borders. The habit of this plant is dwarf and 

 compact, forming handsome little bushes which are entirely covered with large, 

 deep, purple flowers, each one having a clear, white eye ; continues covered with 

 flowers all summer and fall, and is undoubtedly the best of all Lobelias, and a 

 charming plant for carpet beds, bordeis and pots. New and extra fine. Pkt. 6 CtS.
