This dainty and pretty flower has in the 

 past couple of years become very popular 

 and is found in the florists' shops every- 

 where, but even so it is easily grown and 

 every one can have some. It somewhat re- 

 sembles the Scabiosa, but is of a very pe- 

 culiar shade of blue, a shade that is quite 

 the thing these days. It is an annual and 

 blooms profusely from July to November or 

 a heavy frost cuts it down. Its exquisite, 

 lacy-like flowers make it wonderful for cut- 

 ting. The plants grow to a height of about

 with flowers most of the time. Pkt., 10c;
