Rudbeckia, Kelvedon Star 
Rudbeckia 
745 KELVEDON STAR. A perfect long-stemmed flower for cutting, a sturdy and 
floriferous plant for bedding. The flowers vary both in form and in coloring, but 
all have dark brown centers, surrounded by a shining mahogany zone, deep 
golden petals. It is a rampant grower, reaching a height of 3 feet, and should 
be planted 18 inches apart, with 2 feet between rows. Will bloom from June until 
frost. Sowings should be made in February or March and the seedlings planted 
out during early May. Fkt., 20c. 
Salvia - Scarlet Sage 
One of the most useful and effective bedding plants, which produces immense 
masses of flowers from early in the season, continuing in uninterrupted succession 
until frost. Blooms are borne'on long spikes well above the foliage and continue 
in good condition a long time. 
747 SPLENDENS. Tall growing sort with dark green foliage and bright fiery scarlet 
blooms. Annual. Height, 2 !4 to 3 ft. Fkt., 10c; Y a oz., 35c; Y\ oz., 60c. 
748 AMERICA or GLOBE OF FIRE. This is the freest and most continuous bloom¬ 
ing of all the Scarlet Sages, also the most uniform in habit of growth, which 
makes it particularly valuable for bedding or planting in lines. Fkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 
25c; y a oz., 70c. 
749 BLAZE OF FIRE. This new salvia will be welcome as a novelty of the year. 
It far surpasses Harbinger in earlir.ess. The flowers are the most brilliant and 
vivid scarlet imaginable and the habit is ideal for bedding. Blaze of Fire is with¬ 
out doubt the earliest and most dwarf of all scarlet salvia, blooming 10 to 14 
days earlier than any other variety and of a much brighter color. Fkt., 25c. 
750 FATENS, “MAUVE QUEEN”. The great popularity of the beautiful Salvia 
Patens makes it certain that there will be a very wide demand for this novelty. 
It is of exactly the same habit and growth as Patens, but the flowers are of a 
beautiful helio-mauve. This variety comes true from seed and can be recom¬ 
mended as a variety of outstanding merit. Fkt., 25c. 
751 FARINACEA ("Blue Bedder). A more compact form of the graceful Salvia 
Farinacea, growing about 2% feet high, and with a better habit, the plants 
branching freely from the base. The flowers, borne on long terminal spikes, are 
of a bright mid-blue, deeper than in the type, and very showy and effective. The 
plant is vigorous and fairly hardy, and may be had in bloom from August to 
October. Fkt., 20c.

tive plant for bedding or borders. .

753 ROSETTE. As a result of many years’ selection and painstaking care in Rosette 
has been created a glorious new color in Annual Scabiosa. Rosette is a beautiful 
shade of deep rose, heavily suffused with salmon. The flowers are extra large and 
the stems are long and stiff. This glorious, glowing new color will undoubtedly make 
Rosette a most popular flower for the garden and also with the florist for cutting. 
A fitting companion to Scabiosa Loveliness, Peach Blossom and Shasta, which have 
received Awards of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Fkt., 15c; y B oz., 35c. 
BLUE MOON. See Novelty page 24. 
754 BLUE COCKADE. This outstanding novelty is deeper than Azure Fairy in color, but 
the flowers are entirely devoid of any suggestion of rose. They are, in fact, the purest 
deep azure-blue that can be found in any annual. The formation of the flower is far 
ahead of existing varieties, and has so great a depth as to be almost conical in shape.
