SILVER SPOT— The old and well known "Scarlet Sage" or Salvia 

 Splendens, with its spikes of dazzling scarlet blossoms, is a most 

 desirable plant for growing singly in pots or massed in beds on 

 e lawn. In this new variety we not onlj-^ have an improvement 

 in th. size of the bloom and brilliancy of coloring over the old 

 Scarlet Sage, but in addition the foliage is of most striking and 

 intense beaut3^ The leaves are of darkest green, profusely spot- 

 ted with white, giving the plant a most wondrous beauty. The 

 bright scarlet blooms in their setting of foliage form a rare com- 

 bination of grace and beauty never before found in any plant. 

 The plant is of very neat, compact habit of growth, and a most 

 prolific bloomer. It will thrive in any rich garden soil, but to ob- 

 tain the best results seed should be started early in the house and 

 the young plants transplanted to the open ground as soon as the 

 weather is warm and settled. Seeds sown in the open ground 

 will make handsome, showy plants for fall, which may betaken 

 up and potted for winter blooming in the house. Pkt. 15c.

TRANSVAAL ARBOR PLANT. 



Among the other treasures recently introduced from the 

 South African veldt, this mammoth Arbor Plant stands out most 

 prominentlj'. It is a hardy herbaceous perennial, growing read- 

 ily from seed and attaining gigantic proportions in two or three 

 years. Its strong, stiff leaf stalks often measure from 6 to 10 

 feet in height, whiie its mammoth leaves are of most distinct and 

 striking beauty. When they first appear in the spring they are of 

 a beautiful brownish red color, which gradually changes to deep 

 olive green. They are from 3 to 4 feet in breadth, with strong 

 stout mid-ribs, and the whole upper surface studded with short, 

 sharp spines, the whole leaf being of stout, firm texture, with- 

 standing wind and rain with impunity. These plants are fine for 

 groups on large lawns, etc., or as single specimen plants. They 

 require a slight protection of leaves or strawy manure in the 

 winter. Pkt. 15c.
