SALVIA (Scarlet Sage) 
The Scarlet Sage has long been 
a favorite bedding plant, also 
grown for conservatory decoration, 
bearing long spikes of flowers in 
great profusion from July till 
frost; seed should be sown as early 
as possible, either indoors or in a 
hot bed, and the young plants 
transferred to their flowering quar¬ 
ters when the weather has become 
settled and warm. May also be 
sown in the open ground in May.

is one of the finest Salvia for bed¬

not unusual, and the spikes bear 
from 20 to 30 flowers each. Gor¬

scarlet is simply dazzling. Pkt. 10c.
