SALVIA (Flowering Sage) 
The Salvia splendens is a standard bedding 
plant that keeps the garden bright with color 
until late in autumn. For pot culture, for cutting 
and for borders, etc., it is very valuable. In this 
climate sow seed in window-boxes or frames in 
March or April, and set the plants outdoors the 
latter part of May, or sow outdoors not before 
June 1, and protect from heavy rains and strong 
winds. The plants grow and bloom profusely in 
any light, rich soil. Both the tender and hardy 
perennial sorts bloom the first year, and all are 
treated as annuals.
