SALVIA SPLENDENS OR. SCARLET SAGE 
Scarlet Dragoon. A most magnificent summer and autumn-flowering bedding 
plant. The old Salvia Splcndens, or Scarlet Sage, has long been a favorite, and 
our customers can partially appreciate the superiority of this new variety when 
we state that the flowers are nearly double the size, closely crowding the immense 
spikes that often measure 6 inches across. Full-grown plants in bloom form 
compact bushes 3 feet through by 3 feet high, and bloom from ground to summit. 
We know of nothing that can equal the gorgeous effect of a row or bed of these 
Salvias, when in full bloom; the waving masses of glistening scarlet against green 
surroundings of lawn or foliage is matchless. (See cut.) Per 1,000 seeds , 75c.;
