FOUR SALVIA ANNUALS 
Diversely desirable unusualities, none of them in the 
least like Salvia splendens, praise be! 
♦SALVIA ARGENTEA—rbdk(9)6. Great glorious foliage 
rosettes, the leaves indented from below, as thin metal 
might be hammered into patterns. Above they are covered

dewdrops tangled in it. Pkt. 15c. 
♦SALVIA CARDUACEA—ek(3)18. The daintiest of fringed 
skyblue blossoms, wavy-edged, peer out from the gossamer

♦SALVIA COCCINEA—ecbx(2-4)36. For speedy, and long 
beauty, sow this right where plants are to stand. It

SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
The leaves are hollow water-filled pitchers, strangely 
marked, while above them on sturdy stems are bowing 
flowers of decidedly a decorativeness, but so oddly made that 
one can see almost anything in their form. They have 
been compared to watches, side saddles, and other objects 
as diverse. One might call them a cross of Chinese Pa¬ 
goda and an umbrella, and not be beyond the limit of their 
own bizarreness. The leaf-pitchers at the base are not 
merely fantastic; they are cunningly made insect traps; 
for this plant is as carnivorous as we who look upon it. 
All the Sarracenias make excellent house plants, thriving in 
a sunny window. The pots in which they are planted 
should be filled with sandy muck, and set in a saucer of 
water. Not particularly difficult from seed if kept always 
on the moist side. They may be grown outside, too, in bog 
garden, wet meadow or by a pool. FLAVA—Great pendant- 
trailing lemon flowers. Reasonably hardy. See page 3. 
Pkt. 20c. (Plants, each 35c). MINOR—Just a nice size 
for pots. Red-streaked trumpets, rich ivory flowers. Pkt.

red. Flowers madder purple to maroon. Fullest winter 
hardiness. Pkt. 20c. (Good young plants, each 30c; 3 for 
85c.) RUBRA—Graceful slender purple netted pitchers. 
Flowers tyrian to crimson. Needs protection outside in 
North. Pkt. 20c.

SARRACENIA NOTE—Sarracenias flava and purpurea may 
be grown in an ordinary garden by planting th m in a 
scraped depression, an inch or two below the general level, 
just enough to catch more than its share of rains ; or fail¬ 
ing this, to get the most possible out of a good hose-soak¬ 
ing now and then. 
OFFER 118A9—Carniverous-Plant Collection. One pkt. 
each of Darlingtonia, Dionaea, Drosera filiformis, and of 
the four Sarracenias, 7 pkts. of seeds for $1.10.

tacular summer garden effects, enormous digitate leaf- 
umbrellas, high on marbled stems. Dig and store tubers 
in late fall. In February or March, place dry tubers in 
an east window, and soon great flower-spathes will un¬ 
fold, these of rose-tinted, purple streaked ivory. After 
blooming, tubers may again be planted in garden. Tubers 
only, each 75c; 2 for $1.35. 
SAUROMATUM NUBICUM—k(w). Very like last, and 
of same handling, but here the enormous flower-spathes 
are deep maroon, yellow marked. Illustration on page 46 
effectively shows either species. Seeds only, 4 seeds for 
25c.
