Scarlet Salvia 
VESTAL’S SUPERB MARIGOLDS 
These old-fashioned favorites are annuals of 
the very easiest culture. Both the French and 
African classes are very effective, the former 
have the small, velvety flowers, in pretty com¬ 
bination of yellow, brown, maroon and striped 
effects ; the African sorts are the enormous flow¬ 
ered ones, in very showy orange and lemon 
shades. Both kinds are most popular for beds 
and borders—French or African. Price, 10c 
each, 75c per dozen. 
SALVIA—SCARLET SAGE 
A bed or border of Scarlet Sage always com¬ 
pels attention. It has long been a leading favor¬ 
ite. We know of nothing that can equal the 
gorgeous effect of a bed of Scarlet Sage when 
in full bloom. The large waving masses of scar¬ 
let bloom against green surroundings of lawn 
or foliage is matchless. Salvia can be grown in 
almost any position with fine effect; in the 
flower bed; along the walk or borders. They 
also add to the attractiveness of shrubbery if 
planted in clumps in the vacant spaces, the 
varied shades of green and the dazzling scarlet 
have a most pleasing effect. Price, 10c, 3 for 
25c, 75c dozen, $5.00 per 100.
