Spray oF OrcHID-FLowERED SWEET PEA 
New Scarlet Sage “Giobe of Fire.’ 
3936 We have in the last few years tested over a score of varieties of Scar- 
let Sage and believed that the sorts which we offer on page 110 cov- 
ered the most desirable. In this new variety, which was grown at our 
Locust Farm Nursery the past two seasons, and which was easily the 
most brilliant bit of color among the acres of flowers grown there, 
we have what is undoubtedly the earliest, freest and most con- 
tinuous 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.
