W E ARE fortunate in being able again to offer this out¬ 
standing 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 it 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 over¬ 
estimated, and where the Scarlet Sage would otherwise be obiec- 
tionable on account of its strong color-note, the beautiful 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 it 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.
