Our collection includes all the best varieties worthy of culture. With 

 the old-fashioned scarlet sorts we now list three new and distinct colors, 

 the purple, the salmon and the carmine, new shades never before seen 

 in this famous and popular plant. These salvias will delight every one 

 by tne profusion and distinctness of their flowers during the whole sum- 

 mer until frost or as pot plants during the winter. 



The seed is saved from plants at our Panmure Seed Garden, so we 

 can positively recommend the strains as the best that can be had.

1722 DROOPING SPIKES. The very best scarlet sage obtainable.

 ly as to bend the branches and give them a leaning habit, hence the 

 name of Drooping Spikes. It is a magnificent bloomer, bearing three 

 times as many flowers as the ordinary scarlet sage; very desirable for 

 lawn or garden whether planted in solid beds or as borders.
