Salvia Spleudens <<Ball of Fire/' 



39ii4 A new dwarf early-flowering sort, wliich may be briefly described as a 

 compact form of the popular sort " Bonfire." The plant itself 

 rarely grows over a foot high, while the erect spikes of brilliant 

 scarlet flowers average a foot in length, making the total height of 

 the plant when in full bloom between 20 and 24 inches by about the 

 same in diameter. A valuable characteristic of this new sort is that 

 it is the earliest to flower, remaining in bloom as late as any. Stock 

 limited. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



Salvia Splendens "Maroon Prince." 



3936 A form of the well-known Scarlet Sage, and identical to it in every 

 way except in color, which is of a deep claret-maroon. 15 cts. per 

 pkl.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



SCHI2JANTHUS WISETONENSIS.

 covered with its small orchid-like flowers for a period extending over 

 two months. The ground color of the flower is white, dotted with 

 delicate rose, the upper lip adorned with a spot, varying in shade 

 between golden-yellow, carmine, rose, and bright brown. Unsurpassed 

 as a pot plant for the house or conservatory. A very shy seeder. 25

The Schizanthus has been cnlled the " poor man's 

 orchid" on account of their easy culture and re- 

 semblance in form and variety of coloring to some 

 of the Floral Aristocrats. This variety forms com- 

 pact pyramidal plants a foot high, bearing count- 

 less large, beautiful orchid-like flowers in a be- 

 wildering range of color. May be sown out of 

 doors in spring where they are to remain, or started 

 inside and transplanted when the weather is suit- 

 able. A sowing made in the autumn, putting 3 to 

 5 plants in a 5 or 6-inch pot, will give an abund- 

 ance of bloom through the winter. 15 cts. per pkt.
