CARTERS SCABIOUS. 
This bright-flowering plant is usually treated as an annual in our gardens. During recent years it has been 
greatly improved both in habit and range of colours, and is fast becoming one of the most popular of border 
flowers. When given plenty of room and the seed-vessels are kept regularly picked off, it will last through the 
whole of the summer. Owing to its sweetness the bees are very fond of it and its floral favours also attract all 
the most beautiful types of butterflies to the neighbourhood. 
Sow the seed in heat in February and March in a pan or small box, and transplant the seedlings three inches 
apart in larger boxes ; harden off as spring advances, and set out in the border towards end of 
also be sown where intended to grow.
