Scabiosa 



(Mourning Bride, Sweet Scabious, Pin-Cushion 

 Flower, etc.) 



These are firm fa^•o^ites with many of our customers. Seed 



can be sown any time in the spring after danger of frost is past. 



They grow about 2 J feet high, and come into bloom early in 



July, and continue without interruption until hard frost. The 



beautiful flowers in exquisite shades are borne on long stems, 



and when cut keep in perfect condition for the best part of a week. They 



make effective borders or beds, and no garden is complete without Scabi- 



osas, especially where flowers are wanted for cutting. We oSer 6 colors,

Schizan thus 



(Butterfly or Fringe Flower) 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especially 

 adapted to bordering beds of taUer flowers and those of a heavier growth. 

 The seeds germinate quickly and come into bloom in a few weeks from 

 sowing. The florescence is such as to completely obscure the foliage, 

 making the plant a veritable pyramid of the most delicate and charming 

 bloom. The Schizanthus make admirable pot plants for the house in late 

 winter and early spring. For this purpose sow in the autumn, p^-j^ pg..j.
