If we were to take into consideration carefully the number of 
easily grown annual flowers that are best adapted for cut- 
flower purposes, and if our list were limited in number, we 
would suggest the growing of Scabiosa. The plants reach a 
height of about feet and begin blooming in early July, 
continuing without interruption until hard frost. The flowers 
are fully as large as illustrated, and the colors are as nearly 
accurate as good color printing can register them. 
They make effective lines in the flower-garden. For best 
results, sow seed as soon as trees are out in leaf, in a well- 
prepared seed-bed, transplanting plants so as to leave 1 foot 
between them. It will greatly add to the beauty of the plant 
if light stakes are used for support, although this is not 
necessary. Keep flowers well cut, as this helps to increase 
blooming. The beautiful flowers are borne on long stems and 
will keep almost a week in water after cutting.
