EMPEROR SALPIGLOSSIS 
A new giant-flowering race of this beautiful and popular garden annual. 
The immense, Petunia-like flowers are borne on dwarf, sturdy branching 
plants, not exceeding 24 inches in height, and do not require staking. The 
colors, red, blue, yellow, pink, etc., in various shades, are intricately netted, 
penciled and veined with golden-yellow or other colors. They are of the 
easiest culture and flower profusely during the summer. A bed of Emperor 
Salpiglossis in flower is strikingly beautiful. The long-stemmed flowers are 
also fine for cut flower decorations.

3624 Scarlet Dragoon. A most magnificent summer and autumn-flowering 
bedding plant. The old Salvia Splendens, or Scarlet Sage, has long been a 
favorite, and our customers can partially appreciate the superiority of this 
new variety when we state that the flowers are nearly double the size, closely 
crowding the immense spikes that often measure 6 inches across. Full- 
grown plants in bloom form compact bushes 3 feet through by 3 feet high, 
and bloom from ground to summit. The waving masses of glistening scarlet 
against green surroundings of lawn or foliage is matchless. Per 1,000 seeds,

3626 Splendens, or Scarlet Sage. The old favorite bedding variety so ex- 
tensively grown. Bushy garden plants about 3 feet high, producing during 
the summer and fall dazzling scarlet flowers in profusion. It does best in 
full sunshine, but for best effect should have a dark-green background. :
