Our Bonfire Salvia blooms early 
SALVIA 
Scarlet Sage 
4600—Harris’ Special Bonfire. Because many 
strains of salvia bloom too late for northern 
gardens we have developed our own early 
strain and grow our seed crops in the north. 
The result is uniform plants 2 ft. high with 
long spikes of large brilliant scarlet flowers. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 4% Oz. 90c. 
4605—Dwarf Harbinger. Dwarf compact 
plants 1 ft. high are completely covered with 
brilliant scarlet spikes. This is the earliest 
salvia and weare glad to be able to offer it after 
several years of crop failure. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c. 

Blue Salvia 
4603—Farinacea, Biue Bedder. 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 grow in the 
same way as the scarlet salvia and continue 
flowering until very late fall. 
Salvia farinacea is really a semi-hardy 
perennial but blooms the first year from seed 
sown early indoors. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 4% Oz. 90c.

exquisite flowers.
