3935 Salva Spleudeus {Scarht Sage). Beautiful 



bright scarlet. \ oz., 50 cts 5 



3932 "Bonfire" {Clma Bedman). This is one of 

 the finest Salvias ever introduced. It differs from 

 all others, growing in a compact bush, about '1 feet 

 high by 2 feet in diameter. Its erect spikes of Bow- 

 ers of brilliant scarlet stand clear above the dark- 

 green foliage and completely cover the plant. It 

 attracts immediate attention in the garden, and is 

 one of the most effective and gorgeous plants in 

 cultivation. (See cut.) 10 



3933 "Bliruillg-Bash" {Salvia Sphndens Gi-nndi- 

 flora Pi ostratd). This variety makes a compact 

 bush about 2^ feet high, and produces long droop- 

 ing spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers, thrown well 

 above the foliage, that make a dazzling effect when 

 grown in groups in a bed or border 10 



3934 New CrilUSOU. This is a sport from Splen- 

 dens. It is of similar habit, differing only in color, 

 which is a peculiar lustrous crimson, and while we 

 do not claim for it the brilliancy of its parent, yet 

 it is so distinct that we believe there is plenty of 

 room for it 15

The Salpiglossis is one 

 of the greatest favorites 

 among annuals, partly be- 

 cause of its easy culture, but 

 principally for its beautiful, 

 almost orchid-like flowers, 

 ^ which it pioduces from early 

 [summer until late fall.
