Sal vias. 
tvERHAPS at no time of the year do gardeners find it more diffieult to keep up a display of 
flowers than about the commencement of October, but if the following Salvias were once 
seen, and persons were determined to grow them, there would be no more scarcity of either 
the most intense blue, scarlet, purple, rose, striped, and several other intermediate colours, than 
there is of having in November the conservatory full of Chrysanthemums, and with not nearly so 
much trouble, for Salvias are much more easily propagated and grown.
