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 23 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 complete without both the annual and peren- 
nial Scabiosas, especially where flowers are wanted for 
cutting. We offer 6 colors, as under; |

SALPIGLOSSIS 
(Painted Tongue) : 
The Salpiglossis is one of the 
greatest favorites among annuals, 
partly because of its easy culture, but 
principally for its beautiful, almost 
orchid-like flowers, which it pro- 
duces from early summer until late 
fall. Seed should be sown early in 
spring in a hotbedor window and 
transplanted when weather is settled 
or directly out of doors after danger 
of frost. The seed we offer is a 
select large-flowering strain. (See cut.)
