Scarlet Sage ‘‘America’’ 
3936 We have in the last few years tested over a score of varieties 
of Scarlet Sage and in this variety, which was grown at our 
own Nursery, 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 continuous 
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. 25 cts. per pkt.; $1.00 per { oz.
