SALVIA, continued P\i.\. 

 Patens compaota nana. This variety is a great improve- 

 ment over the well-known Sali'ia Patetis. The very robust- 

 growing plants are e.xtremely free-flowering. If sown early 

 under glass, the plants, which grow to a height of 18 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 3 pkts. for $1 . .$0 35 



Pittieri. H.H.P. This pretty Salvia, introduced some years 

 ago, may also be easily propagated by seed. It forms well- 

 branched and compact-growing bushes of about 3 feet high and 

 stands all the summer in full bloom. The flowers of a vivid 

 cochineal-red, standing on dark, rather bluish hued stems, and 

 even the cups in which the yet unopened flowers stand are 

 quite dark 6 pkts. forsocts. .. 10 



Tnrkestanica. H.H.P. An exceedingly decorative new plant, 

 producing in midsummer long and graceful panicles of white 

 flowers, intermixed w ith bracts of the same color edged light 

 pink. The plant grows over 3 feet high and its large crimpled 

 foliage gives it a most picturesque appearance. Although a 

 perennial and quite hardy, it is best grown as a biennial and 

 is partial to light soil. Very ornamental in large beds and on 

 lawns. It was awarded a certificate of merit by the Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society 2 pkts. for 25 cts. .. 15
