in such profusion as to 
cover the whole plant.

SALVIA, “BONFIRE.”

one-half feet high, producing long spikes of most brilliant scarlet flowers.

quently bearing 200 of these fiery sprays. Gorgeous effects are produced by

its flowering* season it is completely covered with, long spikes of brilliant 
scarlet flowers. Pkt., 4 cts. 
No climbing plant surpasses the Smilax, not only for the graceful beauty 
of the vine, but for its value in decoration. The seed should be sown in pots 
or boxes, as it requires a month or more to germinate, but it is easy to culti¬ 
vate. Although a perennial, it is better to start new plants each year, and 
not try to keep them after the leaves turn yellow. Pkt., 4 cts.
