The First New and Completely Distinctive Salvia 
Since St. John’s Fire 
In Fireball we offer an entirely new, earlier, more dwarf 
Salvia which should find abundant use where extra early 
blooming and more dwarf habit is wanted. Fireball has a 
unique base-branching, almost spreading habit, and will 
bloom profusely and continually until frost. Blooms early 
(June 20) making flatted Salvia sell on sight! Not to be 
mistaken for an old obsolete European variety offered under 
the same name—get reliable seed!
