flower garden without a few of these lovely 
flowering shrubs. They are lately being used 
for hedges, which produce the most striking 
effect, and such a hedge is admired by all who 
see it. The first flowers appear early in May, 
and from then until frost the plant is contin- 
ually a mass of flowers. Price of strong plants, 
1 to 2 feet, 35 cents each ; 2 years, at 50 cents 
each, or $5.50 per dozen.

almost always in bloom. The flowers are of a 
very rich crimson color.

Salvia Greggii — New, hardy, everblooming, 
red-flowering shrub. A native of West Texas. 
Extremely hardy, is a great drouth resister 
and has stood a temperature of ten degrees 
below zero. It flourishes and blooms profusely 
in hottest and driest weather. It is as near an 
everblooming plant as we have ever seen. It 
begins to bloom in early spring. The blossoms 
literally cover the plant. It requires a killing 
frost to check its flowering and a light frost 
in fall does not stop the blooming. The color 
is an indescribedly lovely shade of red. It is a 
hard wooded shrub, and adds another good 
shrub to the already good assortment of the 
Southweast. Grows 3 to 4 feet high, and is very 
full and neat in appearance. Field grown 
plants, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen. 
Salvia Greggii, White — New. We, having 
propagated the first plants of this new Salvia, 
are the only house that can furnish genuine 
stock of this new white everblooming flowering 
shrub. The white Salvia is a seedling of 
Salvia Greggii. The shrub is just as hardy 
and vigorous a grower. It blooms from early 
spring until late in the fall, and blooms contin- 
ually throughout the hot, dry summer. The 
flowers are larger than those of its parent, 
and of a creamy white color. This new shrub 
excels all other outdoor summerblooming 
plants, and is excellent for bouquets, wreaths 
and all design work. It is a hard wooded 
shrub. Grows 2 to 3 feet wide. Field grown 
plants, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen.
