SCABIOSA 



Giant Flotvered Hybrids 



The new Giant Flowered Hybrids are a great im- 

 provement over the ordinary strain in size, form and 

 length of stem. The large, round, fully double flowers 

 come in a unique color range, including many shade? 

 not usually found in a Scabiosa mixture. Excellent 

 for cutting and for garden decoration. Pkt., 1.5c.

SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ISAAC HOUSE 

 STRAIN— rBZwe Bonnets) 



This is a very greatly improved strain over the 

 ordinary scabiosa caucasica. The flowers are surpris- 

 ingly large, gracefully fringed and ruflled, in shades 

 of blue ranging from very dark shades through the 

 midblues to lavender. During the hot months of June 

 and July, when most flowers look rather wilted from 

 the heat, these hybrids are unaffected by the tem- 

 perature and make a fine showing in the garden, or 

 for cut flower use. Pkt., 25c. 

 For other varieties of Scabiosa see pages 35 and 5.3. 



URSINIA ANETHOIDES 



One of the most charming flowers we have received 

 from the Cape. Like most all African natives, it 

 likes a sunny place in the garden, and will bloom 

 profusely all through the season. The flowers are 

 daisylike, single, medium sized, in color brilliant 

 orange with a deep purple center zone, remaining 

 open till dusk. They are fine for cutting as well as 

 in the garden. Pkt., 15c. 



VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM— 



(Monarch of the Veldt) 



Of all the flowers recently brought to us from the 

 African Veldt, Venidium Fastuosum stands apart as 

 the monarch of them all. It has all the qualities 

 which makes it an all around favorite for gardens 

 and cutting, and will soon be found in everybody's 

 garden. It is easy to grow, likes plenty of sunshine 

 and not too much water, is a very robust, fast grower, 

 producing flowers within 90 days from seed, and keeps 

 on flowering until late in the summer. The flowers 

 will keep a week or more in bouquets, the long stem- 

 med huge daisy-like flowers make a delightful ar- 

 rangement for any setting. Pkt., 20c.
