SCARLET SAGE or SALVIA 
Scarlet Sage is one of the most brilliant bedding plants, blooms from early summer until 
frost. Popular for beds, borders, edgings and pot culture; may be used for cutting. There 
are tall and dwarf varieties for different purposes. All are best treated as annuals but seed 
must be started early indoors in boxes of light, rich soil so as to have plants large enough 
to set in the ground outdoors when weather and soil have become thoroughly warm. Blue 
salvias are distinct from the scarlet being less showy but fine for planting in borders and 
to mix with other cut flowers.
