SALVIA 
(Flowering Sage) 
Salvias are extremely popular and satisfactory 
bedding plants. The extreme brilliancy and 
abundance of their flowers combined with 
their graceful branching habit makes 
them one of the most gorgeous and effective 
late summer and autumn-flowering plants. 
Seed should be sown in the greenhouse or hot¬ 
bed during February or March in a tempera¬ 
ture of from 60 to 70 degrees. Cover the 
seed to a depth of only four times their 
size and press firmly with a board. Water 
with a fine spray as needed, never allowing 
them to dry out. Transplant to small pots 
when 2 or 3 leaves have formed. Set out 
in the open border when all danger from 
frost is passed. Oz. Pkt.
