. Burpee's farm annual 1893. Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., A SINGLE PLANT OF SALVIA SPLENDENS. SALVIA SPLENDENS. Large Flowering Scarlet Sage. It is not many years since amateurs considered it necessary to purchase plants of the ever popular Scarlet Sage, but now that it is known with what ease and suc- cess they can be grown from seed, and how abundantly seedlings bloom all summer and fall, the purchase of plants should be entirely abandoned. We feel justified in saying that, under the hot summer sun, " this flame- colored beauty " is the most gorgeous of all plants. For months the blaze of flaming scarlet is so intensely brilliant, that it is almost painful to look upon; the plants are all so free-flowering, that the great spikes of bloom completely conceal the foliage. Each plant makes a well-formed, compact bush, while a single plant, when in full bloom, will carry as many as two hundred spikes of flowers, each spike measuring ten to twelve inches in length. From the time they first begin to flower, the plants are never out of bloom until killed by the late autumn frosts. Per pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts.; per % oz. 45 cts. SALVIA (Flowering Sage).
