TWO NEW "Welwyn" Salvias 
S INCE we were privileged to introduce the pink Salvia WELWYN, which was bred and developed on the 
estate of Mrs. Harold I. Pratt, Glen Cove, Long Island, many inquiries have come to us for a white variety 
similar in habit and character to the meritorious pink. We are fortunate now in being able to offer, for the 
first time this year, a companion variety in pure white. Like the pink Welwyn, it blooms freely and is at 
its best from mid-August until killed by frost. Where the Scarlet Sage would otherwise be objectionable on 
account of its color note, Welwyn Pink, with its charming hue, and Welwyn White, its partner, will be 
found ideal. Before the blooming period, few plants are as valuable as these Salvias for green garden effect 
for border use. 
Under ordinary culture, plants reach a height of 
on fine strong spikes. 
3 feet and are entirely covered with blooms of large size

Culture. —Salvia seed does not germinate as easily as many other 
annuals which are sown indoors in early spring in florists’ flats or seed- 
pans. One of the mistakes the average amateur makes is too frequent 
watering during the germination period. Seed should be sown in finely 
sifted soil and barely covered. The soil should be moistened and the 
flat or seed-pan covered with glass or newspaper and allowed 12 to 18 
days to germinate. After positive growth has started, water sparingly. 
Most failures are due to keeping soil too wet rather than just moist 
during the germinating period.

s.&w. CO.’S MIDGET ZINNIAS 
While the Giant Zinnias are very popular and have their place, 
many gardeners greatly enjoy the tiny miniature forms which 
skilled plant-breeders are now giving us. Plants are dwarf and 
compact, averaging 1}^ feet high, so that they make good edging 
material. The tiny flowers are delightful for house decoration. 
The strain we offer is better than the usual Lilliput type. The 
small flowers, averaging 1)^ inches in diameter, are borne on 
sturdy stems just right for cutting. We offer 6 distinct colors: 
1. Canary Gem. Canary-yellow. 4. Scarlet Gem. Scarlet. 
2. Golden Gem. Golden orange. 5. Crimson Gem. Crimson. 
3. Salmon Gem. Salmon-rose. 6. Pink Gem. Pale pink. 
Any of the above: Pkt. 15 cts., I/402. 60 cts., 02. $2
