There’s a world of difference in habit and blooming date 
of the several types of Salvia available today. In order- 
ing, take care to select those varieties best suited to your 
type of trade. To be able to offer your customers either 
the early, intermediate, or late blooming varieties will 
give them a selection and increase your sales. 
Our earliest Salvia, St. John’s Fire (opposite page) will 
bloom in mid-July in our latitude with Petunias, and yet 
it will keep blooming till frost. It is therefore most 
versatile of the three general types offered, but it is also 
somewhat more dwarf and compact in habit and can be 
planted with most other annuals. Contrasts beautifully 
with Snowstorm Petunia.
