Scabiosa (Azure Fairy). 
SCABIOSA COLUMBARIA 
This is a South African form of the European 
Scabiosa and although reminiscent of Caucasica, is a dis- 
tinct type. There is a decided place for this on the 
perennial list, as well as on the florists’ cut flower list. 
It can be briefly described as a hardy, low growing per- 
ennial with fine, light-green foliage, some of the flowers 
measuring from two to two and a half inches across 
with short, compact petals, borne on long, slender but 
strong stems. We offer this in two favorite colors— 
pink and lavender. We consider Columbaria a valuable 
addition to the perennial list, especially the pink shade 
which is a new color for Perennial Scabiosa. Pkt., 25c.
