CARTER’S SCABIOSA 
(Mourning Bride) 
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 flavours 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 May. They may also be sown where intended to grow.
