‘ “SWEET SCABIOUS” OR “MOURNING BRIDE” 
A new. double, large-flowered annual type descended from the “Sweet 
Scabious” or “Mourning Bride’ of old gardens, but are much improved in 
size, colors and doubleness. The brilliantly colored flowers of this plant 
measure 6 to 8 inches in circumference, are double clear to the center, and 
have long stems. They are very free bloomers; very effective for garden 
decoration and valuable for bouquets, vases, etc. 
When Scabiosa plants are given plenty of room and the seed pods picked 
off as they appear the plants will keep on flowering all through the summer 
season. Butterflies and bees find the sweet flowers most attractive and 
large numbers of them will usually be found in the neighborhood of a 
a bed of ‘Sweet Scabiosa.”” The plants attain a height of from one to 
two feet. (See illustration.)
