 fully, and are called Drooping Spikes, Bonfire, etc.

SALVIA FARINACEA. 



The Silver Sage. 



It appears to run altogether to flower, hundreds upon hundreds of tall spikes of 

 Silvery Lavender blooms rising from a dense mass of foliage during the entire sea- 

 son. Far handsomer is it indeed than most any bedding plant we know of — theret 

 being none of this color grown. As isolated specimens it is also very showy. Its 

 long lasting and the graceful sprays were greatly admired when shown at our last 

 Exhibition. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5c.

NEW SALPIGLOSSIS, "EMPEROR." 



The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites among annuals. It holds this 

 high place because of the ease with which it is grown, the beauty of its almost or- 

 chid-like flowers, and its continuous habit of blooming, the flowers being produced 

 during the whole summer. This new variety sIioavs marked distinctions in both its 

 flowers and habit, whether seen at a distance or examined closely. It forms only 

 one leading stem, which often grows as thick as one's finger and bears on its end a 

 bouquet of the most beautiful flowers. Every one of them is richly veined with 

 gold, and they are much larger than those of the old type. There is as much differ- 

 ence between the "Emperor" variety and the old type as there is between the improved varieties of petunias and the 

 common petunias. In short, this novelty is so remarkably beautiful that experts both in this country and abroad pronounce 

 it something really extraordinary. Pkt., 150 seeds, 8c. 



SALPIGLOSSIS GRANDIFLORA. 



A very large, strongly marked flower. Free bloomer, long stems, resembles a petunia with a rich gloss. Colors delicate 

 blue, straw and rose, to richest crimsons and maroon. Pkt., 150 seeds, 4c.
