ting. The blossoms are borne on long stems, are fragrant, 
double and somewhat in the shape of a pincushion. It makes

iy 2 ft. apart. Grows 2 to 2*4 ft. high. 
TALL DOUBLE FLOWERING 
712 BLUE COCKADE. This outstanding novelty is deeper than 
Azure Fairy in color, but the flowers are entirely devoid of 
any suggestion of rose. They are, in fact, the purest deep 
azure blue that can be found in any annual. The formation of 
the flower is far ahead of existing varieties, and has so great 
a depth as to be almost conical in shape. An excellent cut 
flower, being strong stemmed and free flowering, a good plant 
for general purposes. Fkt., 20c. 
713 GIANT LOVELINESS. Loveliness is a glorious new color 
in annual Scabiosa. The blossoms range through varying 
tones of soft delicate salmon-rose. This is undoubtedly the 
most beautiful Scabiosa ever introduced and is the result of 
seven years of intensive selection. Unsurpassed as a cut flow¬ 
er. It has long stiff stems and a delightful fragrance, but its 
crowning beauty is its glorious salmon-rose color. Fkt., 15c;
