Salvia (Scarlet Sage) 



Dreer's America 



3936 Undoubtedly the earliest, freest and most continuous 

 bloomer of all Scarlet Sages, and what is still more im- 

 portant, the most uniform in habit of growth; the bushy

 of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well above the plant, 

 making a total height of about 2 feet; the importance of 

 this uniformity will be appreciated by those who use 

 Scarlet Sage for beds or borders. We grow our own stock 

 from cuttings taken from plants specially selected for 

 uniformity of height, color and flowering. 25 cts. per
