SCABIOSA 



HARDY VARIETIES 



Caucasica Perfecta. The old "Caucasian Scabious" 

 is recognized as one of the handsomest of hardy 

 perennials, forming dense, spreading plants 2 

 to 3 feet high, thriving in any ordinary gar- 

 den soil. In this new variety, "Perfecta," 

 we have obtained the highest perfection of 

 this type; the semi-double flowers, 3 to 4 

 inches across, are poised on stalks 1 J< to 2 

 feet long, making them of exceptional val- 

 ue when cut for vases, etc. The coloring 

 of the flowers is a beautiful lilac-blue 

 shading to deep blue Pkt. 15c. 



Caucasica Alba. A large, pure white vari- 

 ety; the flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, on 

 longstems. are exquisite for vaseslasting 

 a long time in water and they are borne 

 freely like those of its blue-colored par- 

 ent from early summer to late fall.

 tremely free-flowering, produce their lovely 

 flowers continuously from the end of June 

 until late in the autumn Pkt. 15c. 



ANEW giant-flowering race of this beautiful and 

 popular garden annual. The immense. Petunia- 

 like flowers are borne on dwarf, sturdy branch- 

 ing plants, not exceeding 24 inches in height, that do

 pink, etc., in various shades, are intricately netted, 

 pencilled and veined with golden-yellow or other col- 

 ors. They are of the easiest culture and flower pro- 

 fusely during the summer. A bed of Emperor
