SALVIA

W4600 HARRIS’ BONFIRE. With florists, the name 
of Harris has become synonymous with salvia of 
superior quality and high germination. Harris’ 
Bonfire, after years of selection and testing, has 
resulted in large, long spikes with the florets 
placed close together and the growth is as uni- 
form as though it had been sheared. The color 
is a brighter shade than any other variety, and 
the germination higher. If you want the best, 
plant Harris’ Bonfire. 3’ (Short seed supply.)

HARRIS’ COLOSSALS 
Each year we expect that a new snapdragon will 
come along that will out-perform our Colossals 
here in the Northeast. But again this hot dry 
summer they produced better bloom earlier and 
more continuously in our Trial Grounds than any 
others available to date. The husky plants send 
up many long stemmed flower spikes, foliage is 
a glossy deep green, colors are clear and attrac- 
tive, florets are large and beautifully formed. 
Altho they are not the so-called Rust Resistant 
type, we have never had rust on any of our plant- 
ing. We grow our own seed crops here at Moreton
