742 KELVEDON STAB, A perfect long-stemmed flower for cutting, a sturdy and 
floriferous plant for bedding. The flowers vary both in form and in coloring, but 
all have dark brown centers, surrounded by a shining mahogany zone, deep 
golden petals. It is a rampant grower, reaching a height of 3 feet, and should 
be planted 18 inches apart, with 2 feet between rows. Will bloom from June until 
frost. Sowings should be made in February or March and the seedlings planted 
out during early May. Pkt., 20c. 
Salvia - Scarlet Sage 
One of the most useful and effective bedding plants, which produces immense 
masses of brilliant turkey-red flowers from early in the season, continuing in unin¬ 
terrupted succession until frost. Blooms are borne on long spikes well above the 
foliage and continue in good condition a long time. Spikes are often 8 to 10 inches 
long and have 30 to 40 tube-like flowers born in a feathery manner on each side of 
the stem.

October. Pkt., 20c.

Tall Double Flowering 
748 ROSETTE. For description see Novelty page 2 5. Pkt., 20c. 
749 BLUE COCKADE. This outstanding novelty is deeper than Azure Fairy in color, 
but the flowers are entirely devoid of any suggestion of rose. They are, in fact, the 
purest deep azure-blue that can be found in any annual. The formation of the 
flower is far ahead of existing varieties, and has so great a depth as to be almost 
conical in shape. An excellent cut flower, being strong stemmed and free-flowering; 
a good plant for general purposes. Pkt., 15c; special pkt., 35c. 
750 GIANT LOVELINESS. Loveliness is a glorious new color in annual Scabiosa. 
The blossoms range through varying tones of soft delicate salmon-rose. This is 
undoubtedly the most beautiful Scabiosa ever introduced and is the result of seven 
years of intensive selection. Unsurpassed as a cut flower, it has long stiff stems 
and a delightful fragrance, but its crowning beauty is its glorious salmon-rose color.
