Scabiosa Maxima Plena Annual 



"Swees Scabious" or "Mourning Bride" 



This is an improved type of this old garden favorite; the flowers are very 

 large and double and are produced on long stems which make them exceed- 

 ingly valuable for cut flowers. If the flowers are picked or the old flowers cut 

 off the plants, a continuous succession of flowers will be enjoyed up to frost. 

 The brilliantly colored flowers of this plant measure 6 to 8 inches in circum- 

 ference are double clear to the center, and have long stems. They are very 

 free bloomers; very effective for garden decoration and valuable for boquets, 

 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 bed of "Sweet 

 Scabiosa." The plants attain a height of from one to two feet. (See illustration.)

Maxima 



SchizanthuS Annual 



Wonderfully showy half-hardy annuals, very decorative for garden 

 beds and unsurpassed in pots for the conservatory. The seed germinates 

 readily and in a vew weeks' time. The plant is a mass of brilliant flowers, 

 in an extraordinary variety of colorings. The foliage of the plant is very 

 delicate and fern-like and highly decorative in appearance. 



Our Hybrid and Wisetonensis strains as well as the Ketusus varieties 

 are particularly valuable for pots and decoration purposes and the taller 

 varieties produce a most delightful effect when allowed to ramble freely 

 on suitable supports.

 growing robust and bushy, 1 Vi 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 M inches across; they are of much 

 substance — very lasting — and show an endless variety of bright colorings. 

 The light varieties of white, pink, buff-rose or yellow have beautifully 

 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. (See illustration.) Pkt. 25c.
