3624 Scarlet Dragoon. The old Salvia Splendens, or Scarlet 
Sage, has long been a favorite, and our customers can appre- 
ciate the superiority of this new variety when we state that 
the flowers are nearly double the size. Bu owe plants in 
bloom form compact bushes 3 feet across by 3 feet high, and 
bloom from ground to summit. The waving masses of glis- 
tening scarlet against green surroundings of lawn or foliage 
is matchless. c
