THE NEW 



EARLY GIANT FLOWERING 



FIERY SCARLET SALVIA 



TitgenteurClavenad 



This is the Salvia of all Salvias to plant. It is 

 the earliest and most profuse and continuous bloom- 

 ing of all Salvias. The flower spikes are enormous, 

 of dazzling flery scarlet. It grows 3^ feet high, mak 

 Ing a dense bush, branching from top to bottom, and 

 covered with scarlet plumes until frost. 



I want all of you to give this a trial this year, and 

 have put the price down so you can include it in your 

 orders. 



Pkt., 50 seeds, 6c.; 3 for 15c.

^"^ One of the most rare and beautiful of all 

 Salvias ; a rich deep sky-blue, a blue that is a blue — 

 one of the richest blues of all flowers ; a perennial

It appears to run altogether to flower, hundreds 

 upon hundreds of tall spikes of Silvery Lavender 

 blooms rising from a dense mass of foliage during 

 the entire season. Far handsomer is it, indeed, than 

 most any bedding plant we know of— there being 

 none of this color grown. As isolated specimens it is 

 also very showy. Its long lasting and graceful sprays 

 were greatly admired when shown at our last Exhibi^ 

 tion. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5c.
