HENRY A. DREER, 
Salvia splendens —Scarlet Sage © 
The Scarlet Sage is an indispensable bedding plant. Its fine 
qualities and unusually rich color make it the most effective 
material to bring color into the summer and fall garden. Suited 
for beds, borders, or as individual specimens. Start the seed 
indoors or in the hotbed early and set out when the weather has 
become settled.

Undoubtedly the earliest, freest, and most continuous 
bloomer of all Scarlet Sages, and what is still more im- 
portant, 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. The importance of 
this uniformity will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet 
Sage for beds or borders. We grow our own stock from 
cuttings taken from plants specially selected for uniformity 
of height, color, and free flowering habit. Pkt. 25c; special 
pkt. 75c; 7 oz. $1.50.

Salpiglossis—Painted Tongue, Velvet Flower 
These are one of the very finest annuals. They succeed in any 
good soil and in a sunny position. The plants grow from 24 to 30 
inches high and produce from mid-summer until frost attractive 
Gloxinia-like blossoms in a very large and unusual range of colors. 
They are splendid for cutting. Seed may be started indoors 
or in a hotbed about the end of March, or sown outdoors when 
danger from frost is passed and the ground is in good condition. 
The plants should be set about 12 inches apart.
