SALVIA SPLENDENS, 
“BALL OF FIRE.” 
3934 A new dwarf early-flowering sort, which we show in colors on the 
front cover of this book, and which may be brietly 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, 20 cts. per 
pkt.; 75 cts. per $ oz. 
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

DREER’S IMPROVED LARGE- 
FLOWERING SCABIOSAS. 
(Sweet Scabious, Mourning Bride, etc.) 
We illustrated these in colors in our 1905 Garden Book, and they are 
now firm favorites with many of our customers, Seed can be sown any 
time in the spring after danger of frost is past. They grow about 23 
feet high, and come into bloom early in July, and continue without inter- 
ruption until hard frost. The beautiful flowers in exquisite shades are 
borne on long stems, and when cut keep in perfect condition for the best 
part of a week. They make effective SALVIA BALL oF Firs, 
‘borders or beds, and no garden is com- 
plete without Scabiosas, especially where 
flowers are wanted for cutting. We offer
