SALVIA SPLENDENS WHITE is not offered by us because the flow¬

Purple. The color of this variety is dark and unattractive. 
Salvia or Scarlet Sage 
All Salvias are easily grown from seed, sown Indoors in March 
or April and set in permanent location in May. Require good soil. 
All bloom the first year from seed and are best treated as annuals. 
Plant 18 inches apart each way. 
Seeds mostly of our own growing, always of strong germination. 
To get a good stand, sow in a bed filled with clayey soil that con¬ 
tains no manure and no vegetable matter. Do not use good rich 
soil. Use clean clayey soil in your flats also. Your plants will not 
damp off if you will set the seedlings at the time of transplanting 
at the same depth they stood before you lifted them. To prevent 
rot and damping off give your salvias plenty of air and sunshine. 
If your plants in flats get spindly or overgrown clip them; they 
will start new growth soon again and you will have the prettiest, 
bushy plants of even growth you ever saw. 
The Farlnacea variety is one of the finest blue flowers. The 
plants should be pinched back during their early stage of growth 
two or three times. This Induces the plants to branch out from the 
base and results in erect spikes. 
When transplanting see to it that you plant the seedlings at the 
same depth they stood before you lifted them. If you will plant 
deeper they will rot and you will lose them. It is all right to set 
most plants deeper than they stood, but It does not work with Salvia.
