SILVER SPOT— The old and well known ' Scarlet Sage" or Salvi i 
Splendens, with its spikes of dazzling scarlet blossoms, is a mo-^c 
desirable plant for growing singly in pots or massed in beds 
e lawn. In this new variety we not onlv have an iinprovcmem 
in th- size of the bloom and briUiancy of coloring over the oM 
Scarlet Sage, but in addition the foliage is of most striking an. 
intense beauty. T.'ie leaves are of darkest green, profusely spol 
ted with white, giving the plant a most wondrous beauty. Th 
bright scarlet blooms in their setting of foliage form a rare con 
lunation oi grace and beauty never before found in any plant 
The plant is of very neat, compact habit of growth, and a mos, 
prolific bloomer. It will thrive in any rich garden soil, but to ob 
tain the best results seed should be started earlv in the house anil 
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 niav betaken 
up and potted for winter blooming in the house. Pkt.'l^c

TRANSVAAL ARBOR PLANT. 
Among the other treasures recentlv introduced from thi 
South African veldt, this mammoth Arbor Plant stands out most 
prominently. It is a hardy herbaceous jierennial, growing read- 
ily from seed and attaining gigantic proportions in two or three 
years. Its strong, stifl' leaf st.ilks often measure from 6 to 10 
feet in height, while its mammoth leaves are of most distinct and 
striking beauty. When they first appear in the spring they are 01 
a beautiful brownish red color, which gradually changes to deep 
olive green. They are from ,3 to + feet in breadth, with strong 
stout mid-ribs, and the whole upper surface studded with short, 
.sharp siiines, 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. Thej 
require a slight protection of leaves or strawy manure in the 
winter. Pkt. isc
