Salvia Drooping Spikes. 



DEOOPING SPIKES. A vast improvement on tbe wtU- 

 known :<aiN i;i i^ideiKicn? or Scarlet Saere, of which it i< a variety, 

 blooming very much earlier and with greatei freedom. The 

 j-pikes of bloom are numerons and very laT-ge: and are so thicklv 

 clothed with the brilliant scarlet flowers as to fairly l)€nd 

 b»^ueath their weight. The dark-green foliage and profuse 

 vivid bloom present a combination of color that is very attract- 

 ive, and the flowering is incessant until checked by frost.

CLABA SEDMAN (Bonfire). Compact in form, with long, 

 stiff, erfcc spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers in immense nnm- 

 bers. all over the plant so as to completely hide the foliage, 

 creating a gorgeons di.splay of color. It presents a most 

 dazzling effect when massed upon the lawn or in beds, and is 

 of grearvaine for planting with dark-foliaged plants for con- 

 trast, and comes into flower much earlier than the eld Scarlet 

 Salvia. Pk-.. 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c.

DWARF SWEET-SCENTED 

 SNAPDRAGONS. 



These Snapdragons mark one of in-- greatt-st advances in 

 fl )ricnlture that has ever been made. They are of a wide range 

 of color, from pure snow-white to deep garnet, with intermedi- 

 ate shades of scarlet, pink, and blush— some being exquisitely 

 striped and blended with two or more colors — and the colors, 

 in all cases, are clear, strong, and pure. The individual flowers 

 are beautiful, unique, and interesting in structure and are large 

 in size, produced on well-fiiied spikes, a foot in length, and are 

 very lasting; either cm or upon the plant; rendering them of 

 the greatest value for cuttinsr. In fragrance they are sweet, 

 slightly aromatic, and pleasant — a perfume unlike that of any 

 other flower; much more decided and lasting than Sweet Peas, 

 and approaching Mignonette. Best of all. they are of the 

 easiest culture, and th"e plants begin blooming when only a few 

 inches high, and continue in the "greatest profusion throughout 

 the entire summer and antnmn, until the ground freezes at the 

 approach of winter, when they can be lifted, potted and brongiii 

 indoors for winter bloom— continuing to flower as they will 

 until .spring. The habit of the plant is correctly shown in the 

 illustration^ l>eing dwarf and exceedingly free-flowering, and 

 they are extremely rugged and hardy, enduring extremes of 

 heat and cold, excessi^'e rains and protracted drought, with 

 impunity. ,S'^« iUu^f ration.
