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.

SALVIA SPLENDENS or SCARLET SAGE 



3622 Bonfire- Very compact oval bushes, 2 l i feet high; brilliant scarlet 

 flowers. The spikes stand out stiff and erect; over 200 spikes to a plant is not 

 unusual, and the spikes bear from 20 to 30 flowers each. Per yi oz., 75c; 



per 1,000 seeds, 60c Pkt. 10c 



3624 Scarlet Dragoon. A most magnificent summer and autumn-flowering 

 beading 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, 



75c; per H oz., SI. 00; two Pkts. for 25c Pkt. 15c 



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. 

 Per 1,000 seeds, 50c Pkt. 10c.
