LARGE-FLOWERING SCABIOSA 
Hardy Perennial Scabiosas 
3941 Caucasica (Blue Bonnet). One of the handsomest of hardy 
Scabiosa 
(Mourning Bride, Sweet Scabious, Pin Cushion 
; Flower, etc.) 
These 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 23 to 3 
feet high, and come into bloom early in July, and continue without inter- 
ruption 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, especially where flowers are wanted for cut- 
ting. We offer as under:

Schizanthus (Butterfly or Fringe Flower) 
This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especially 
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 completely obscure the foliage, 
making the plant a veritable pyramid of 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.
