Scabiosa 
Seabiosit Cauca.siea. 18 in. July to Septem- 
ber. One of the handsomest hardy perennials: 
its flowers last a long time in the water, and 
their peculiar, soft, lilac-blue shade is charm-

Yucca filainentosa. 2 feet. June. One of 
the most striking and ornamental plants, thrlv'- 
ing on rock.s, in sand, gravel, or almost any- 
where, sufficiently well to produce its pictur- 
esque, sharp foliage; but a good soil or heavy 
dressing is necessary to bring forth its stems 
6 to 7 feet high, with from 50 to 200 oval, 
creamy yellow blossoms, 2 Inches long.
