(Scarlet Sage) 

 The Scarlet Sage has long been a favorite bedding plant, 

 also grown for conservatory decoration, bearing long spikes of 

 flowers in great profusion from July to frost; seeds should be 

 sown as early as possible, either indoors or in a hotbed, and 

 the young plants transferred to their flowering quarters when 

 the weather has become settled and warm. May also be sown 

 in the open ground in May. per pkt.

(Painted Tongue) 



We illustrate these in colors, and offer and fully describe them on page 

 56. They are one of the greatest favorites among annuals, partly be- 

 cause of its easy culture, but principally for its beautiful, almost orchid- 

 like flowers, which it produces from early summer until late fall. Seed 

 should be sown early in spring in a hotl)ed or window and transplanted 

 when the weather is settled or directly out of doors after danger of frost.
