Salvia 



Salpiglossis 



Salvia, Splendens 



(Flowering Sage). Among the 



most brilliantly colored of garden 



flowers and extremely useful for 



bedding; also valuable for pot culture. Blooms are borne 

 in long spikes well above the foliage and are of fiery red, 

 crimson or blue color, continuing in flower for a long time. 

 Start early in heat and transplant into light soil one to two 

 feet apart. Tender perennials, but bloom the first season; 

 height two to three feet. 



Splendens. Large, brilliant scarlet flowers are in these plants 

 afforded a rich, dark green background of dense foliage. 

 This variety is most generally used in parks and on extensive 

 lawns, as in growth it is more vigorous than the more dwarf 

 varieties Pkt. 10c. 



Golden Leaved. This is a variety of Salvia Splendens which 

 comes true from seed and has rich yellow leaves, contrasting 

 beautifully with the brilliant scarlet flowers Pkt. 35c. 



Patens. One of the finest blue flowers known " 15c. 



Lord Fauntleroy. Many strains of Salvia Splendens have been 

 offered under different names with the claim that they are 

 larger flowered or more floriferous than the old type. We 

 have found none of them more distinctly valuable than this 

 strain in which the plant is more uniformly dwarf and florif- 

 erous and the flower spikes longer than in the common stock, 

 so we strongly recommend it as a decided improvement. The 

 plant is uniformly dwarf, averaging only about twenty inches 

 high. In habit it is exceedingly free blooming bearing above 

 the dark green foliage brilliant crimson spikes which are 

 longer than those of the common sorts Pkt. 15c.
