SALVIA OR SCARLET SAGE 



Hardy Annual 



Our collection includes all the best varieties worthy of culture. With 

 the old-fashioned scarlet sorts we now list three new and distinct colors, 

 the purple, the salmon and the carmine; new shades never before seen 

 in this famous and popular plant. Four varieties which every custo- 

 mer should try were illustrated lu colors on the back of our 191-1 Seed 

 Book. These salvias will delight every one by the profusion and dis- 

 tinctness of their flowers during the whole summer until frost. 



The seed is saved from plants at our Panmure Seed Garden, so we 

 can positively recommend the strains as the best that can be had.
