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 oflf, 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 in the neighbourhood. Sow the 
seed in heat in February and March in a pan or small box. and 
transplant the seedlings 3 in. 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 during 
March and April.

Duimg the last few years the 
Schizanthus has leapt into popularity owing to the remarkable 
advance which has been made both in the habit of the plants and 
diversity of colours now available. By sowing in spring, 
summer, and autumn a succession of bloom may be obtained 
throughout the year. Our Butterfly and large-flowered strains, 
together with the distinct Retusus forms, are the most suitable 
for greenhouse and winter garden decoration.
