Universally popular. A strong grower and free flowering, bearing long 
spikes of intense scarlet Idoom from midsummer till frost. No flower makes 
a more showy appearance in beds and borders. In Decatur, Georgia, there 
are two long liedges of salvia, growing about 3(4 feet high, that have been 
profusely blooming all summer, and in November, when this is being writ¬ 
ten, that hedge is still a wonderful glow of scarlet flowers, the attraction of 
the neighborhood. It is easily grown and certainly you will be pleased with 
its attractiveness. It deliglits in the warmest, sunniest situations. Sow 
seed in open ground after trees are in full leaf and the ground is warm, but 
may be started earlier in boxes in sunny windows, and transplanted as soon 
as the soil is warm. A bed of Salvia will give a perfect blaze of scarlet.

card to a Chicago concern in part payment for a bill of goods; the Chi¬ 
cago concern deposited our card in its bank and was credited for the 
face value, even though only 5 cents. It pays to deal with a Company, 
like Hastings’, with a good name and reputation in a “par point” city 
in National Banking. Atlanta is a “par point.”
