SCABIOSA. 



(Mourning Bride, Sweet Scabious, Pin-cushion Flowery 

 etc.) 



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 of a week. They 

 make effective borders or beds, and no garden is com- 

 plete without Scabiosas, especially where flowers are 

 wanted for cutting. We offer six colors as under:

SCHIZANTHUS (Butterfly or Fringe Flower). 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, es- 

 pecially adapted to bordering beds of taller 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 com- 

 pletely obscure the foliage, making the plant a veritable pyramid 

 ot 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.

 pact pyramidal plants a foot high, literally covered with 

 large, beautiful, orchid-like flowers in a bewildering range 

 of color. J oz., 40 cts 15 



3968 Wisetonensis. A variety largely used as a pot plant 

 for the house or conservatory. It is remarkably free-flowering, and pre- 

 sents a beautiful appearance with its myriads of blooms, the ground color 

 of which is white, dotted with delicate rose. J oz., 40 cts. ... 20
