tive in the garden, where the plant is in

water.

SCARLET SAGE 
Salvia Splendens 
HARBINGER. New. Salvia splendens is one of 
the most brilliant of all bedding plants, and this 
new variety is the finest of all. Dwarf, compact 
in habit, producing a profusion of their,, long 
spikes of dazzling bright scarlet, they maintain 
a blaze of color from early spring 'till frosts.

ing. Its fine foliage and habit makes it a splen¬ 
did pot plant. 2'/2-inch pots 15e; 4-inch pots 25c. 
RUDBECKIA PURPUREA 
Saxafraga 
SAXAFRAGA CRASSIFOLIA. These will thrive 
in almost any soil in a shady position. Their large, 
glossy, leathery leaves and spikes of clear pink 
flowers make them doubly admirable for planting 
in front of shrubbery, in the rockery, or under 
trees where a mass planting is wanted. Added to 
(heir value for mass or border planting under 
trees, etc., is their beauty as cut flowers, which 
are freely produced in mid-winter. It is so diffi¬ 
cult to find a plant which will thrive readily in 
the shade, and yet produce flowers for cutting, 
this wonderful plant should be widely planted for 
this purpose. 3-inch pots 15c; 4-inch pots 25e.
