GARDEN SAGE 
(Salvia officinalis) 
The garden sage has been cultivated for centuries for 
its aromatic leaves which are used in flavoring foods. 
It is a long lived perennial and should be included in 
every garden. The flowers are attractive to bees and a 
high quality honey is gathered from garden sage. 
Blooms in June. 
Seed, packet, 20c; per ounce, 75c; postpaid. 
PURPLE LOOSESTRIFE 
(Lythrum salicaria) 
Purple flowers on long spikes in late summer and 
fall. A nice ornamental growing to three feet or taller. 
Very good for flower gardens, hardy perennial, adapted 
to most soils, grows especially well in very moist 
situations. 
Purple loosestrife blooms over a long period and the 
flowers are very heavily worked by bees. The plant is 
especially adapted to moist or boggy land and under 
these conditions has naturalized readily in some 
localities. 
We have heard some tall stories of the amounts of 
honey harvested from it where sufficiently plentiful. 
The seed is tiny, with a very large number of seeds 
per ounce. 
Seed, packet, 20c; ounce $1.00; % pound, $3.00; 
postpaid. 
Plants, 5 for $1.00; 10 for $1.75; postpaid. 
WILD INDIGO 
(Baptisa australis) 
Attractive in foilage and flower, grows into a stately

single root of a well established plant with large 
clusters of blue pea-like flowers in June. Long-lived 
and hardy, very attractive to the bees. 
Seed, per packet, 20c; postpaid. 
One year plants, 6 for $1.00; dozen, $1.75; postpaid.
