Large-flowering Annual Scabiosas 



(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 2J 

 to 3 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 Scabiosas, especially where flowers are wanted for 

 cutting. We offer as under:

 SchizanthuS (Butterfly or Fringe Flower) 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especiaUy 

 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 foUage, 

 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. 



3967 Dwarf Large-flowered. A new variety, forming compact 

 pyramidal plants a foot high, literally covered with large, 

 beauriful, orchid-like flowers in a bewildering range of color.
