The Very Best Scarlet Sage Obtainable 



The flowers of this magnificent scarlet sage are produced so abundantly as to 

 bend the branches and give them a leaning habit, hence the name of Drooping 

 Spikes. It is a magnificent bloomer, far more floriferous and showy than the old 

 form. The plant blazes in dazzling scarlet all through the summer and fall, and 

 cannot be excelled for decorative purposes. My seed is grown on my own grounds, 

 and I can highly recommend the strain. Packet, 10 cents; % ounce, 40 cents. 



New Dwarf Salvia, Lord Fatmfcleroy. 



A charming and showy variety of salvia noted for its uniformly dwarf habit, as it 

 seldom exceeds 20 inches. The foliage is dark green and the flowers are of a rich 

 crimson. Spikes larger than the average. An exceedingly free bloomer and a 

 most desirable bedding plant. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents.

New Dwarf Ca 



Little Prince. 



This charming little candytuft grows only about 6 inches high, and is 

 a variety of especial merit. The very massive spikes are pure white. 

 For best effect it should be planted in rows or in masses. In this man- 

 ner it is a very satisfactory and pleasing bedder. It also makes a fine 

 pot plant. The bloom in shape is much like the sort known as Hya- 

 cinth Flowered; that is, it is a spike rather than a head. I am sure 

 Little Prince Candytuft will give universal satisfaction, not only on 

 account of its beauty but because of its wonderful profusion of bloom. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents.
