SALVIA (HHO 2 to 3 ft.) 
The Salvias or Scarlet Sages rank as one of our most 
important bedding plants. They make excellent tall borders 
for cannas and other tall flowers and also do well when bedded. 
A bed of these flowers is a flame of color from midsummer until 
frost. For best results start the seed in hotbeds or in boxes 
indoors and transplant when warm weather comes. The Fari- 
paces is a perennial variety but will bloom the first year from 
seed,
