W E are fortunate in being able to offer this 
outstanding Salvia to garden enthusiasts. 
Welwyn has been grown on the estate of Mrs. 
Harold I. Pratt, of Glen Cove, Long Island, for 
a number of years. By careful selection the 
strain has been kept up to the highest purity, 
and the inquiries from visitors to Mrs. Pratt’s 
garden, who wished to procure seed of this Salvia, 
have induced her to allow us to offer ft to our 
patrons. 
Before the blooming period, few plants are as 
ideal for green-garden effect for border use as 
this Salvia. The plants illustrated above formed 
a delightful green background to the border in 
midsummer, and by careful pinching were kept 
at a uniform height; from mid-August they 
were a mass of glorious color until killed down 
by hard frosts. 
The value of Salvia for green-garden effect 
cannot be overestimated, and where the 
Scarlet Sage would otherwise be objectionable 
on account of its strong color-note, the beauti¬ 
ful salmon-pink color of Welwyn will be 
found ideal. 
Plants under ordinary culture reach a height 
of 3 feet, are entirely covered with blooms, and 
the blooms are of large size on fine strong spikes. 
Few plants can rival ft for its color effect. 
For best results the seed should be sown in 
early spring in flats and transplanted in the 
usual manner. The plants set out in early 
summer grow quickly, but to get the best 
results for late autumn bloom they should be 
pinched back. 
The above illustration was made from a 
photograph taken on October 31, 1933. This 
indicates that this variety has a long season of 
bloom. The color holds remarkably well. 
We consider this one of the most outstanding novelties of the season, the seed of which is limited 
in quantity and is offered as long as available. We suggest early ordering. Pkt. (50 seeds)
