SALVIA SPLENDENS "ST. JOHN'S FIRE" (Benary) 
This new, precious Sage blooms extremely early, a fortnight before "Firebrand." from which 
it originates. Plants remain nevertheless handsome until they succumb to the autumn frosts. They 
grow only 10" tall, are very thickly 
and strongly ramified, so that the com¬ 
pact bushes reach a diameter of up 
lo 18". 
When in full bloom, mid August, the 
bright scarlet flower spikes 6" to 7" in 
length stand densely and rigidly up¬ 
right on the compact plants. Habit 
and height of all plants are entirely 
uniform, forming in a mass an even, 
dazzling scarlet carpet. The ideal of 
all raisers, viz. earliest, durable, richest 
profusion of flowers with uniform dwarf 
habit of plants should have been re¬ 
alized by the intrcduction of "St. John's 
Fire."
