SCABIOSA 



(Mourning Bride, Sweet Scabious, Pin-cushion

 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 of a week. 



They make effective borders or beds, and no garden is ccmplete without 



Scabiosas, especially where flowers are wanted for cutting. We offer 6
