SalVia. The Salvia is now a standard bedding plant, and well does it deserve its honor. It stands heat and drouth re- markably well, and its colors are very showy and intense, j Seed is best started under glass, though self-sown seed frequently comes up id great numbersrwhere a bed of these plants has been the year previous. Cuttings are easily rooted and make fine winter-blooming plants. Per pkt. Splendens Compacta—Fine dwarf habit, very free flow- ering and of intense brilliancy. It blooms profusely all the year, beginning in about three months from the time of sowing the seed. Perfectly exquisite. 10 Silver Spot—Foliage green, spotted yellow; flowers bril- liant scarlet — 10 Golden Ireaved—Habit and branch- ing, with an abundance of foliage, which is of a fine yellow shade, hardly a trace of green about it. The flowers are a light transparent scarlet of exceptional brilliancy. The brilliancy of the flowers against the yellow foliage produces the most striking effect we have observed in any plant. Not only is the plant a fine bedder but it is also a magnificent pot plant, blooming at any and all times of the year without intermission. For winter it is particularly fine, and the most brilliant plant that can be grown in one's window 10 Childs: Anniversary—This is a new, very dwarf form of Salvia Splendens. It is so dwarf and compact, and its flowers so large and numerous that it is the most brilliant bedding or pot plant yet known. Unlike other Salvias it flowers all summer long, from May until frost, making a carpet or mass of the brightest color yet seen. As a pot plant it is like a solid bouquet of bloom all the fall, winter and spring
