GYPSIES' BONNETS . 

 Scabiosa Grandiflora. 



If people only knew how handsome 

 and ornamental these charming flow- 

 ers are for all purposes, no garden 

 would be without them. They are 

 * Imost as durable when cut as 'ever- 

 lastings. They are good for vases, 

 bouquets, as a loose cut flower and 

 pversonal wear. For decorations of all 

 kinds, as a flower to cut and work up 

 and exhibit at Fair time nothing is 

 better. The flowers and foliage also 

 have marked curative properties for 

 soothing and allaying all irritations 

 of the skin. The" flowers are large, 

 double and lustrous. Some velvet 

 blacks are flecked with gold, snow 

 white, rose, pink, flery crimson, azure 

 blue, purple, red, striped and golden, 

 carnation, cherry and lilac.
