SALVIA 
The advent of several new extra early flowering and dwarf 
strains the past seasons is adding impetus to Salvias as spring 
pot plants and also to their spring sales as bedding plants 
since they can now be sold as dwarf bushy plants and be in 
full flower in early spring. From our extensive annual Salvia 
trials, the past season, we offer the following list of varieties 
as the best available. Listed according to their flowering 
dates—earliest first. In selecting your varieties, the fact must 
be kept in mind that the extra early flowering varieties don’t 
make as big a showing in the late summer and fall as do the 
later ones like America and Bonfire.
