Giant Stock, Abundance 



Salvia patens compacta nana. (Novelty, 'lo.) This 



^ iKjvelty we offer is a 



great improvement over the well-known Sah'ia Pateiis. ,The very 

 robust-growing plants are extremely free flowering. If sown early 

 under glass, the plants, which grow to a height of i8 inches, begin to 

 bloom in early July. On account of the very compact and regularly 

 formed plants, it produces an unusual number of flower stems, on 

 which you will always find from three to five open flowers. The plants 

 are so much more compact and dwarf than the type that the flower 

 stems are considerably longer and freer, surmounting luxuriant dark 

 green foliage. On account of the rare color, namely, navy blue, this 

 novelty, no doubt, is extremely desirable and should be one of the 

 best fall flowers for the garden. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $i.

— ^ illustration is the best descrip- 



tion of this new Stock. It will be excellent for a summer- or winter- 

 flowering variety. The extraordinary growth of the plant is caused 

 by the central stem dividing into twelve to fifteen lateral branches 

 which in their turn produce fifteen to twenty side shoots, forming 

 magnificent spikes of flowers. Color, fine shade of carmine-rose, 

 similar to Queen Alexandra. This will prove an excellent variety 

 for cutting; for, as the name describes it, it is an enormous and 

 abundant flowerer (see illustration). Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. for 50 cts.
