SALVIA "Blaze of Fire" 
(The Scarlet Salvia Novelty of the Year) 
This novelty vies with Chrysanthemum Golden Crest for first place in the 
1937-38 Flower Seed Novelties. By many, Blaze of Fire will, we are certain, 
be named the "Novelty of the Year" if not the decade, when it has been grown 
and flowered. 
It far surpasses Harbinger in earliness. The flowers are the most brilliant and 
vivid scarlet imaginable, and the habit is ideal for bedding. Blaze of Fire is 
without query the earliest and most dwarf of all Scarlet Salvias, blooming ten 
to fourteen days before Harbinger, and it is much brighter in color than that 
variety. We recommend it to our customers with every confidence, for we are 
sure of its merit, and the fact that it will quickly become one of the most popular 
of all bedding plants. Tr. Pkt. 50c

SALIVA PATENS "Mauve Queen" 
New Salvia "Blaze of Fire" 
New Early Flowering Snow White 
Snapdragon 
"BEZDEK'S WHITE WONDER" 
The great popularity of the beautiful Salvia Patens makes it certain that there 
will be a very wide demand for this novelty. It is of exactly the same habit and 
growth as Patens, but the flowers are of a beautiful helio-mauve. Mauve Queen 
comes perfectly true from seed, and we specially recommend it as a variety 
of outstanding merit. Tr. Pkt. 50c

this book.

flowers. The Chicago Flower Trade having 
merchandised "White Wonder" for the past 
two years have invariably declared it the white 
cut-flower Snapdragon "par excellence". (Ad¬ 
vance orders for this valuable new kind are 
advisable.)
