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 

 almost as durable when cut as ever- 

 lastings. They are good for vases, 

 bouquets, as a loose cut flower and 

 personal 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 

 tlacks are flecked with gold, snow 

 ■white, rose, pink, fiery crimson, azure 

 blue, purple, red, striped and golden, 

 carnation, cherry and lilac.
