Annual Scabiosa ® 
Mourning Bride—Sweet Scabious 
—-Pincushion Flower 
These are great favorites with many of our customers. Seed can 
be sown any time in the spring after danger of frost is past. They 
grow 23 to 3 feet high and come into bloom early in July, and con- 
tinue 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 Scabiosas, espe- 
cially where flowers are wanted for cutting.
