T.T.S. SALVIA—Splendens Type 
Trivett’s Harbinger 
Trivett’s SELECTED SALVIA {Flowering Sage ) 
Annual, Biennial, and, Perennial. Reselected Strains. Sal-vi-a 
Salvia is a Latin name used as far back as Pliny, meaning to be healthy, referring to the medicinal properties of some species. There is 
said to be 407 species and the variation is astonishing. The color of the flowers ranges from scarlet through purple and violet to azure 
blue, white, pink and even pale yellow. The varieties we offer do exceedingly well in America. Seed should be sown indoors during 
February-March and the young plants put outside during May, thus assuring early blooming and a long season. 
They prefer ordinary garden soil. Too much feeding will cause rank groivih, retard the flowers, and increase the height. Clumps of scarlet 
Salvias in large perennial borders or against dark evergreens at a distance will always command attention.
