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 darling 

 Scarlet, and are borne in endless profusion un- 

 til late in the Fall — one of the most beautiful 

 Autumn-blooming flowers you can have. Pkt.

 has few equals among pure white flowers ; 

 for beds and borders should be extensively 

 planted. Sure to please. Pkt. 8 cts.

The Giants of California Dwarf Margue- 

 rite Carnations are a splendid new strain, 

 bearing flowers of giant size, full regular 

 form — many beautiful colors, and delicious fragrance. 

 The plants are of dwarf, bushy growth, very free flower-

 Marguerite Carnations, they are a most desirable novelty

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, borders and pots. New and extra fine, Pkt. 10c.
