SALVIA SPLENDENS OK SCAKLET SAGE 



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. 

 We know of nothing that can equal the gorgeous effect of a row or bed of these 

 Salvias, when in full bloom; the waving masses of glistening scarlet against green 

 surroundings of lawn or foliage is matchless. (See cut.) Per 1,000 seeds, 75c.; 

 per'ioz. SI. 50 Pkt. 15c. 



Bonfire. Very compact oval bushes, 23-2 feet high; brilliant scarlet flowers. The

Tom-Thumb Zurich. Of dwarf, core pact growth, forming oval bushes 15 to 18 inches 

 high thickly studded with fine spikes of scarlet flowers. For bedding it is brilliant- 

 ly effective either planted alone or as a front row for the taller Salvias Per 1 ,000 

 seeds, 75c Pkt. 15c
