SCABIOSA 
“(Mourning Bride, Sweet Scabious, Pin-cushion Flower, etc.) 
The Annual Scabiosas are firm favorites with many of ~ 
our customers. Seed can be sown any time in the spring 
after danger of frost is past. They grow about 2% 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 ofa — 
week. They make effective borders or beds, and no ~ 
garden is complete without both the annual and peren- 
nial Scabiosas, especially where flowers are wanted for 
cutting. We offer 6 colors, as under:
