 strong - growing 

 and highly orna- 

 mental tree-like 

 annual plant; 6

 get a scent of 

 the plant.

1722 Salvia, Drooping Spikes 



Salvia 



(Scarlet Sage) 



Hardy Annual 



Salvias are favorite bedding 

 plants bearing long spikes of 

 flowers profusely during the 

 whole summer until frost; also 

 grown as pot plants during 

 the winter. 



1722 DROOPING SPIKES. 



The very best Salvia obtain- 

 able. The flowers are pro- 

 duced so abundantly as to 

 bend the branches and give 

 them a leaning habit, hence 

 the name of Drooping Spikes. 

 It is a magnificent bloomer; 

 desirable for lawn or garden 

 whether planted in solid beds 

 or in borders.
