SALVIA SPLENDENS °r scaklet sage 
Scarlet l>ragooii. A most magnificent summer and autumn-flowering bedding plan 
The old Salvia Splendens, or Scarlet Sage, has long been a favorite, and our customer 
can partially appreciate the superiority of this new variety when we state that the flowei 
are nearly double the sise, closely crowding the immense spikes that often measure 
inches across. Full-grown plants in bloom form compact bushes 3 feet through by 
feet high, and bloom from ground to summit. We know of nothing that can equal th 
gorgeous effect of a row or bed of these Salvias, when in full bloom; the waving masse 
of glistening scarlet against green surroundings of lawn or foliage is matchless. (Si
