SALVIA 
With the florist, the name of Harris has 
become synonymous with superior quality and 
high germinating Salvia seed. Our special 
strain of Bonfire Salvia which we introduced 
last year has met with instant popularity. The 
spikes are larger, longer, and the florets placed 
more closely together. The growth is as uni¬ 
form as though it had been sheared. The color 
is of a brighter shade than any other variety. 
The quality of our regular strain of Splendens Salvia 
is not to be overlooked where a cheaper variety is de¬ 
manded. You will find the germination high, but not as 
perfected in the other qualities as our Special Bonfire. 
Yet we find it is better than ordinary Splendens Salvia 
in earliness and growth. 
If you want an extra early blooming variety to flower 
in pots in the spring we strongly recommend our Har¬ 
binger. This is a low-growing, free-flowering variety 
with high germinating seed.

Zinnias 
Zinnias are very rapidly becoming a more and more popular florists’ flower. They thrive in hot 
weather, growing so easily from seed sown outdoors about June 1st. The “Cut-and-Come Again,” 
“Fantasy” and “Pompon” Zinnias are even better cut-flowers if grown in a cloth house. The 
flowers are larger and the stems longer. 
Zinnias for May and June cutting may be grown in a warm greenhouse by sowing in February 
and March. Seed sown in August will make a late fall cutting in the greenhouse. 
The most extensive use for Zinnias is in growing plants in “flats” for spring sales. Sow seed in 
early April. The Giant Flowered are the most popular and there is an increasing demand for 
separate colors. Pompon Zinnias are next in popularity. 
REMEMBER—When sowing Zinnia seed wait until the soil is warm. The seed will surely decay 
in cold wet soil.
