SALVIA SPLENDENS, 



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 orbed of these 

 Salvias, when in full bloom; the waving masses of glisten- 

 ing scarlet against green surroundings of lawn or foliage is- 

 matchless. [Scecut.). . . .Per 1,000 seeds, 7oc.,Pkt. 15c. 

 "The Salvia 'Scarlet Dragoon' turned out splendidly; 

 it is still a blaze of color, and the people around here are 

 constantly remarking on its splendid appearance."
