Scabiosa, Hardy Varieties 



3656 Caucosica Alba. A large, pure white variety; counterpart of the Per- 

 , fecta; beautiful; the flowers measure 3 to 4 inches across Pkt. £5c. 



3657 Caucaslca Perfecta. Recognized as one of our handsomest hardy 

 perennials, forming dense, spreading plants 2 to 3 feet high, thriving 

 in any ordinary garden soil. The semi-double flowers, 3 to 4 inches 

 across, are poised on stalks 1 J^ to 2 feet long, making them of excep- 

 tional value cut for vases, etc. The coloring of the flowers is a beauti- 

 ful lilac-blue, shading to deep blue Pkt. 15c. 



Scabiosa Japonica 



3658 



A new hardy perennial from Japan, forming large bushes, 2W to 3 

 feet in height and breadth, with elegant light green foliage. Flowers 

 2 to 2yi incnes across on long wiry stems 15 to 20 inches in length, of a 

 beautiful mauve or lavender-blue. The plants, extremely free-flower- 

 ing, produce their lovely flowers continuously from the end of June 

 until late in the autumn Pkt. 10c. 



Schizanthus 



Wonderfully showy half-hardy annuals, very decorative for garden beds 



and unsurpassed in pots for the conservatory. 



Our Hybrid and Wisetonensis strains as well as the Retusus varieties are 



particularly valuable for pots and conservatory decoration; and the taller 



varieties produce a most delightful effect when allowed to ramble freely on 



suitable supports. 



3670 Dr. Badser's Giant Flowering Hybrids. A superb new strain grow- 

 ing robust and bushy, 1 !• j to 2 feet in height, with handsome bright 

 green, Fern-like foliage. The flowers, borne in great profusion, are 

 unusually large, measuring from 1 to 1 % inches across; they 

 are of much substance — very lasting — and show an end- 

 less variety of bright colorings. The light varieties 

 of white, pink, buff-rose or yellow have beauti- 

 fully marked centers, zoned by a deeper shade. 

 The darker sorts are of purple, mauve or red 

 with center lines of yellow or white 

 margined by a deep tone of the ground color

Silene 



3680 Pendula Compacta. Double. An 



effective garden annual forming compact 

 round bushes, 6 inches high, which, dur- 

 ing the summer are covered densely with 

 flowers of white, pink or red. For low 

 beds on edgings it is very pretty. Mixed 

 Colors Pkt. 10c. 



Stocks, "Beauty" or "Giant Nice 



The plants are of fine symmetrical habits, bushy, and _ 

 flower stand about 2 feet in height. The side branches each carry a 

 tall, strong spike well furnished with large very double clove-scented flowers. 

 They do not flower as quickly from seed as Ten-week Stocks, the "Beauties" 

 requiring from 12 to 15 weeks, but after they commence blooming their long- 

 continued profusion is phenomenal. When grown for winter flowering — it is 

 better to sow the seed in July or August. As cut flowers "Beauty" Stocks are 

 unsurpassable, the fragrant flowers are of lasting substance. (See illustration.)
