Scarlet Sage "America" 



3936 We have in the last few years tested over a score of varieties of 

 Scarlet Sage and in this variety, which was grown at our own 

 Nursery, and which was easily the most brilliant bit of color 

 among the acres of flowers grown there, we have what is un- 

 doubtedly the earliest, freest and most continuous bloomer of 

 all, and, what is still more important, the most uniform in 

 habit of growth; the bushy plants do not grow over 15 inches 

 high, with the spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well 

 above the plant, making a total height of about 2 feet, and in 

 the lines, several hundred feet in length, there was not a variation 

 of an inch in the height of any plant; the importance of this 

 uniformity will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet Sage 

 for beds or borders. 25 cts. per pkt.; $1.00 per \ oz.
