SALVIA OR SCARLET SAGE 



Hardy Annual 



My collection includes all the best varieties worthy of culture. With 

 the old-fashioned scarlet sorts I now list three new and distinct colors, 

 the purple, the salmon and the carmine; new shades never before seen 

 in this famous and popular plant. Four varieties which every custo- 

 mer should try are very well illustrated in colors on back of this Seed 

 Book. These salvias will delight every one by the profusion and dis- 

 tinctness of their flowers during the whole summer until frost. 



The seed is saved from plants at my Panmure 8eed Garden, so I can 

 positively recommend the strains as the best that can be had. 



1722 DROOPING SPIKES. The very best Scarlet Sage obtainable. 

 The flowers of this magnificent scarlet sage are pi-oduced so abundant- 

 ly as to bend the branches and give them a leaning habit, hence the 

 name of Drooping Spikes. It is a magnificent bloomer; very desirable.
