i HARDY PERENNIAL PIANTS I, 



175 



Salvia Pitcheri 



Salvia Pitcheri (Blue Meadow Sage) 



Comes from the wilds of Colorado, and is one of the most attractive 

 of our native plants. A true blue flower, with a long season of bloom, 

 August, September and October, thriving in any situation and almost 

 without care. The flowers of deepest indigo-blue are borne with the 

 greatest profusion on long slender stalks 3 to 4 feet high and blooming 

 at a time when blue flowers are not plentiful makes it a most note- 

 worthy addition to any garden planting. This variety is extremely 

 hardy and winters over in any part of the country without protection. 



We illustrated this Salvia in color in our last year's Garden Book 

 and distributed many thousands of it throughout the country and we 

 doubt if we ever sent out a hardy perennial plant that gave as satis- 

 factory results. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100.
