ROSCOEA 
ROSCOEA *cautleoides—A rare and choice fleshy-rooted plant 
from China with dark green, narrow leaves and Orchid-like 
blooms of exquisite, pale Primrose-yellow, several to each 
short spike. 2 ft. For moist, rich soils with good drainage 
and partial shade. Much admired in our gardens. Plant 
about 4 inches deep and mulch in cold climates. Spring 
delivery only. 75c, $1.00, and $1.50. 
SALVIA—Sage 
SALVIA (Sage)—A well-known group of hardy perennials, 
many somewhat shrubby, with aromatic foliage. The kinds 
below have showy flowers and will tolerate rather poor 
soil and considerable heat and drought. They are best 
massed in the sunny border where their bright flowers 
make a colorful display in Summer or Fall. Plant fully 
15 to 18 inches apart in groups. The Sages are remarkably 
hardy and pest free. 
azurea—Miuch like and fully as good as Pitcheri but the flow- 
ers are light blue, as clear as the autumn skies under 
which they bloom. A lovely, airy display late in the sea- 
son. Winter and Spring delivery only. 60c and 85c. 
Bertolonii—Large, dark green, wrinkled leaves in a_ basal 
rosette with 2 to 3 foot, upright stems of violet blue flow- 
ers. A rather new and different Sage for late Spring and 
early Summer bloom. 50c and 75c. 
Pitcheri—Narrow, pointed leaves clothe the slender, 4 foot 
stems which carry open racemes of clear, deep blue flowers. 
The blossoms are produced freely over a long period in the 
Fall and are an amazingly intense, luminous shade of blue. 
In our opinion one of the ten best border perennials! Win- 
ter and Spring delivery only. Each 60c, three $1.60, six 
$3.00; large size, each 85c. 
superba (formerly virgata nemorosa)——-A most attractive 
plant for the sunny border. Handsome rounded bushlets to 
4 feet with woody stems heavily set with bold, conspicu- 
ously veined leaves. Numerous spikes of violet flowers 
clasped by purplish-red bracts appear in late Spring, creat- 
ing a brilliant effect in combination with the rich foliage. 
The colorful bracts persist long after the flower petals have 
fallen and prolong the effectiveness of the plants many 
weeks. We recommend this hardy Salvia and agree with 
the many English gardeners who regard it so highly. 90c 
and $il.25. 

ROMNEYA COULTERI 

ROSCOEA CAUTLEOIDES 
SATUREJA—Savory 
SATUREJA “montana (Winter Savory) — Rounded, aromatic 
bushes, to 15 inches, with soft lilac-colored flowers from 
late Summer to Fall. The linear leaves, small spiked flow- 
ers, and fragrance suggest the Thymes to which it is re- 
lated. A hardy, easy edging or rock garden plant for sun 
and poor soils. 50c and 75c. 
SAXIFRAGA—Saxifrage, Rockfoil 
SAXIFRAGA *cuneifolia subintegra — Broad-spatulate leaves, 
up to 114 inches long, dark green color, form neat ro- 
settes, making broad mats. The white flowers, with a basal 
golden dot and pink specklings, create a misty effect in 
late Spring. 10 in. A distinct and interesting ground cover 
for woodsy soil in shaded, moist places. Each 50c, three 
$1.40, six $2.50. 
*granulata fl.-pl.mKidney-shaped leaves, lobed and cleft, and 
frequently producing bulbils. Large, double white flowers 
on 6 to 9 inch stalks. This is a showy, bulbous Saxifrage 
for light shade and moist, peaty soil. Becomes dormant after 
flowering. Easy and a very attractive plant for mid-Spring 
bloom. Pots, 60c and 85c. 
*H. S. Stokes—One of the Mossy Saxifrages, which will stand 
more sun than the majority. Very compact habit, with 
much-cut, dark green leaves forming a solid mat. The flow- 
ers, bright carmine fading rosy-pink, are freely produced 
in mid-Spring. 6 in. Best in ordinary, moist soil in light 
shade. 50c and 75c. 
*umbrosa primuloides — Tiny, compact variety with wavy- 
edged, fat leaves in mounded rosettes. Loose showers of 
small, pink flowers on 8 inch stems in late Spring. Very 
useful in the shaded rock garden in crevices or as a ground 
cover. Peaty soil and moisture. Each 50c, three $1.40, 
six $2.50; large size, each 85c.
