SALVIA (Scarlet Sage)

rising above the green foliage. They bloom continuously from early summer

the greenhouse or frame. Transplant singly into small pots, and set out 
when all danger of frost is past.

SCHLING’S NEW CANDELABRA VARIETIES 
Instead of branching out from the bottom, the plants of this sensational 
new type send up a strong center stem, which in rich soil attains the height 
of 4 to 5 feet. Commencing about 18 inches above the ground and along its 
entire length, this stem sends forth slender side branches full of beautifully 
marked, large, petunia-like flowers, branching more freely towards the end 
of the stem and finally ending with a veritable bouquet. The whole plant 
has a wonderful appearance and in the border is as stately and effective 
as our finest delphiniums. The individual flowers, too, are larger than the 
ordinary Salpiglossis, and the colorings and markings include all the finest 
shades found in orchids. 
COLLECTION: One pkt. each of 6 separate colors, $1.50; Finest Mixed, pkt. 25 cts.
