Large-Flowering Scabiosa 



Large-Flowering 



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 2| 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.
