Growing Them Indoors and Out—Weekly Fashion 
R ED salvia, or scarlet sage as it is 
known to many, is one of the most 
popular American decorating plants. It 
is popular not only as an individual, but 
for use in massing. In fact there seems to 
be no decorative use, either indoors or 
outdoors, to which the red salvia can not 
be put. It is always beautiful when 
used as an individual, in a bed of its own 
kind, in groups with other plants, as a 
border or hedge or to round out bare or 
vacant comers. 
The salvia is a semi-hardy annual, 
dying down, root and branch, with the 
coming of winter. If early growths are 
desired the seed should be-sown in boxes 
in February or early March. When they 
are three inches tall they may be trans¬ 
planted to their permanent place. Plants 
taken care of in this way should bloom 
in central latitudes about the first of 
July. If planted in their outdoor bed in 
the spring they will bloom in August. 
But in September is the time that the 
salvia is in its full glory. 
If the soil where the salvia is to grow is 
it is an annual in this country, it may be 
taken up before frost, potted and 
indoors during the winter. In the sprim, 
it will be ready to go to its outdoors 
home.— Nellie Portrey. 
GROWING ROSES INDOORS 
I have some very nice slips of Dorothy Perkins’ ro$«

F. O. A., New York. Ir " 
r THE mold on Dorothy Perkins cut. 
tings is powdery mildew, which is 
often caused by great and sudden at¬ 
mospheric changes, and by a long spell 
of damp, cloudy/weather. I am taking fo r 
granted that the cuttings are growing in a 
dwelling house. They have probably 
been growing in too high and confined a 
temperature during the day and too cool 
at night. 
Dust freely with a mixture of nine 
parts of flowers of sulphur and one part 
powdered lead arsenate. Keep the plants 
covered with this mixture until all mildew 
is dried up or the affected foliage has

A Free Trial Package is Mailed to 
Everyone Who Writes. 
F 
A. L. Rice, a prominent manufacturer of Adams, 
N. Y., discovered a process of making a new kind 
of paint without the use of oil. He named it Powdr- 
paint. It comes in the form of a dry powder and all 
that is required is cold water to make a paint 
weather proof, fire proof, sanitary and durable for 
outside or inside painting. It is the cement principle 
applied to paint. It adheres to any surface, wood, 
stone or brick, spreads and looks like oil paint and 
costs about one-fourth as much.

very ordinary, they may be set fifteen 
inches apart; but if the soil is rich and 
moist, and has an abundance of sunlight, 
they should be placed thirty inches apart. 
However, in special cases where thick 
bedding is desired they may be planted 
as close as four inches. 
One of the most beautiful beds I have 
ever seen was made up of nothing but red 
salvia. It was planted four inches apart 
and when the plants were in full bloom 
the bed looked like a large hemisphere, 
pierced with scarlet spears. The central 
plants had grown upright, while the outer 
ones had been forced to bend outward, 
giving the bed a delightful rounded ap¬ 
pearance. , 
Salvia requires plenty of both feed 
qnd water. The soil should be made 
rich and finely pulverized. Water should 
be given to them in abundance during 
the dry season. These, together with 
plenty of sunshine and^good cultivation, 
will insure a wealth of rare blooms. 
It will not cease blooming from the 
time it starts to blossom till frost. And 
the more blossoms are picked, the more 
come. It makes beautiful bouquets and 
stays fresh for quite awhile. Although 
turned black. If the cuttings are rooted, 
pot in a good rich compost and set in 
the sunniest location in the house. In 
watering them do not keep the soil 
Saturated or allow it to become dusty. 
If possibly keep a night temperature of 
60 degrees and day temperature of 72 to 
75 degrees. Ventilate on clear days, 
taking care that no cold drafts strike the 
plants. 
If these few rules are followed, the cut¬ 
tings will show a more robust growth and 
will not be so susceptible to any disease
