SALVIA (Flowering Sage) Unrivalled for their dazzling color 

 in masses or as a hedge the Scarlet Sage maintains its popu- 

 larity from year to year. The dense dark green foliage 

 of the bushy plants forms a fine background for the count- 

 less spikes of tubular florets. 



The blue varieties are less showy but for beauty of 

 coloring or as cut flowers are very desirable. 



Although Salvias are perennial and will live on in a 

 mild climate, they should be treated as annuals and will 

 bloom readily the first season if started early indoors.
