SALVIA SPLENDENS, or Scarlet Sage 



Scarlet Dragoon. A most tnagniticent 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 'i Oz. SI. 50 Pkt. 15c. 



Bonfire. Very compact oval bushes, 2 2 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 1,000 seeds, 60c Pkt. 10c. 



Tom Thumb Zurich. Of dwarf, compact growth, forming oval bushes 15 to 18 inches high, 

 thickly studded with fine spikes of scarlet flowers. For bedding it is brilliantly effective, 

 either planted alone or as a front row for the taller Salvias. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c. ; Pkt. 15c. 



Splendens, or Scarlet Sage. Bushy garden plants about 3 feet high, producing during 

 summer and fall dazzling scarlet flowers in great profusion. Per 1,000 seeds, 50c.; Pkt. 10c.

SCHIZANTHUS 



Wonderfully showy annuals; valuable for garden decoration or 

 pot culture. The plants are of compact, branchy growth, 1}^ to 2 

 feet high and are literally sheeted with exquisite butterfly-like 

 flowers much larger than those of the ordinary Schizanthus, and 

 include beautiful new color combinations. (See cut.) 

 Wisetonensis. White dotted rose; upper lip adorned with yellow 



blotch shaded rose, carmine, etc Pkt. 15c. 



Large-fJowering. Mixed Colors. Beautiful colors and combinations

Dr. Badger's Giant-Flowering Hybrids. A superb new strain 

 growing robust and bushy, ll-i to 2 feet in height, with hand- 

 some bright green Fern-like foliage. The flowers borne in prodigal 

 profusion are unusually large, measuring from 1 to 1 % inches 

 across, they are of much substance — very lasting — 'and show an 

 endless variety of bright colorings, all crude and dull colored 

 sorts having been eliminated. The light varities of white, pink, 

 buff-rose or yellow have beautifully marked centers, zoned by a 

 deeper shade. The darker sorts are of purple, mauve or red, 

 with center lines of yellow or white, margined by a deep tone of 

 the ground color. Very decorative for garden beds and unsur- 

 passed in pots for the conservatory, where by successive sowings 

 a continuous display may be enjoyed almost the year round.
