Lobelia, hybrida Sapphire 
Lobelia, HYBRIDA SAPPHIRE 
The increasing 1 demand for new varieties of plants 
that will succeed well in window and piazza boxes, and 
which are useful as trailers for hanging baskets and 
vases, must naturally attract attention to such useful 
and ornamental species as the Lobelia. 
The accompanying illustration represents a new and 
novel addition to this interesting family. 
The blossoms of the Lobelia Sapphire are of extra size, 
usually measuring % inch across, and are very thickly 
set on the long, graceful sprays of foliage; these sprays 
often attain a length of two feet. The flower in color 
is of a deep sapphire blue (from whence it derives its 
name) and in addition the large and well defined white 
eye, which occupies about one-third of the corolla, makes 
a very pleasing contrast and is quite effective. 
The seed, if sown in September, should commence to 
bloom about April in the greenhouse, and if sown dur¬ 
ing January the plants should flower during the latter 
part of May or June and continue till late Autumn.
