SALVIA (Scarlet Sage) 
The Scarlet Sage has long been 
a favorite bedding plant, also 
grown for conservatory decoration, 
bearing long spikes of flowers in 
great profusion from July till 
frost; seed should be sown as early 
as possible, either indoors or in a 
hot bed, and the young plants 
transferred to their flowering quar¬ 
ters when the weather has become 
settled and warm. May also be 
sown in the open ground in May. 
701— BONFIRE. This variety 
is one of the finest Salvia for bed¬

not unusual, and the spikes bear 
from 20 to 30 flowers each. Gor¬

scarlet is simply dazzling. Pkt. 10c*.
