Brilliant Chinese Wool Flower 
Mammoth Verbena 
Rich and Showy—Grows Easily From Seed 
The Chinese Woolflower —Plants 
grow to three feet high, the 
bloom starting early with a cen¬ 
tral head, round and globular, 
which often reaches the im¬ 
mense size of two feet in cir¬ 
cumference Scores of branches 
are thrown out, each bearing a 
ball of scarlet-wool. All of these 
branches support numerous lat¬ 
erals with small heads of bloom 
mixed with fresh green foliage, 
so that a plant looks like an im¬ 
mense bouquet splendidly ar¬ 
ranged and set in the ground. 
None of the blooms fade in any 
way until hit by frost; but all 
continue to expand and glow 
with a deepening richness of 
color, a dark crimson-scarlet.

uses. For beds, borders, mounds, vases and

succession from June until frost.

Scabiosa (Perennial)'' 
A Specially Handsome Flower 
Scabiosa or Pin Cushion flower is another 
of the old fashioned favorites we all so 
much enjoy. The sweetness of the plant 
causes it to attract the most beautiful but¬ 
terflies. this alone is sufficient reason why 
it should be in every garden, as what could 
be more beautiful than a garden in which 
may be seen these gorgeous and beautiful 
living things. The flower stems are long 
and the blossoms keep well in water. The 
flowers are exquisitely shaded like dense 
tufts of petals. They grow to a height of 
2Vi> feet and if seed is sown in early spring 
as soon as danger of frost is pa3t will 
bloom in July and continue thru until frost.

Grow Some Violets 
One of the most beautiful, delicate 
appealing flowers on earth. Everyone 
is familiar with this charming flower, 
its delightful fragrance is not equalled 
by any flower grown. Violets have al¬ 
ways been very expensive at florists and 
this has prevented their being as popu¬ 
lar as they should. Careful experiment¬ 
ing during the last few years with 
different seed has enabled us to con¬ 
tract with a famous English grower 
having the finest violet seed known and 
remarkably easy to grow in the garden.
