Salvia Farinacea, Blue Bedder 
HARRIS-GROWN SALVIA 
Salvia Farinacea 
The Graceful Blue Salvia 
4603—Blue Bedder. At last we have been able 
to grow our own seed of this new blue Salvia. 
The long graceful spikes are a most attractive 
shade of light blue, and the long stems make it 
ideal for cutting. The 2-ft. tall plants are 
grown in the same way as the scarlet Salvia 
and continue flowering until almost snow-time. 
There is no better flower to cut for combining 
with bouquets. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 14 Oz. $1.50. 
4600—Harris’ Special Bonfire. This special 
strain of Salvia is of our own development and 
introduction. The seed being constantly grown 
in the north makes it more suitable for north- 
ern latitudes. It grows about 2 ft. tall and is 
more uniform than any other we have seen. 
Also the spikes of bright scarlet flowers are 
larger and longer. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 35c; 4% Oz. 75c; 14 Oz. $1.25. 
STATICE 
Sinuata. One of the prettiest of the various 
“Everlastings.””’ Their long sprays of bright- 
colored paper-like flowers are just as decorative 
in the garden as they are in the winter. 2 ft.

ent shades. Pkt. 10c; 44 Oz. 20c; Oz. 40c.

7940—Black-Eyed Susan. A_ small, easily 
grown vine having yellow and creamy-white 
flowers with black centers or “‘eyes.’’ Grows 
very rapidly from seed. Usually used in porch 
vases, window boxes, etc. Pkt. 15c; 44 Oz. 75c. 
A New Salpiglossis 
New Royal Robes 
4518—A new and distinctive type of Salpiglossis 
we think is superior to any we have ever seen. 
The plants are more vigorous and are less 
branching. This makes the flowers closer to- 
gether at the top of the plant. 
The flowers are larger, and face upward so 
you can look into the open flower, getting the 
full benefit of their beautiful velvety crimson 
and rose heavily veined colorings with brilliant 
gold veins. Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 50c. 
4641—Peace. A 1941 All-America winner. A new 
white with 
Heavenly Blue, and a splendid companion to sow 
with it. They are both excellent to cut as well as 
ideal in the garden. 
New All-America 
DWARF SCABIOSA 
4643—Heavenly Blue. An All-America winner in 
1940 and a new type of Scabiosa. It grows uni- 
formly about 18 inches tall, blooms earlier than 
the tall varieties from seed sowed outdoors and 
is a pleasing shade of light blue.

Heavenly Blue Dwarf Scabiosa 
SALPIGLOSSIS 
The Prettiest Flower in the Garden. It 
is impossible to describe the exquisite charm 
of a mass of Salpiglossis. The deep velvety 
trumpet-shaped flowers with their delicate 
gold penciling defy description. The slender 
upright plants are 3 ft. high and when planted 
throughout the border add a certain charm 
and delicacy. 
Salpiglossis Grows Easily from Seed if you 
don’t sow until the soil is warm (after May 15) 
and don’t cover the seed with soil. Simply cover 
it with a shade until the seed starts to sprout.
