Shasta Scabiosa Peach Blossom 
SALZER’S ORCHID FLOWERING 
SALPIGLOSSIS ha 
Also called Painted Tongue. This beautiful flower has been more 
or less neglected, for some inexplicable reason, but few flowers con¬ 
tribute such a wealth of bloom from summer until cut down by 
frost. 2 y 2 feet. 
The flowers are funnel-shaped, facing upward, and reveal ex¬ 
quisite and infinitely wrought veinings of either gold or silver, 
running throughout the groundwork of the flowers, the whole 
shapely flower having an orchid-like appearance. In this grand 
new type that we have perfected the elegant flowers reach the 
highest degree of perfection and size, the stems are 24 to 30 inches 
long, and heavy, making it invaluable for cutting. And, this new 
type is very easy to grow. Blooms freely. We offer the lovely 
colors listed at the right, and the following extra-fine mixture:

SCABIOSA, LARGE FLOWERING HA 
Also known as Pin-Cushion. Mourning Bride and 
Sweet Scabiosa. These ever-beautiful, hardy annuals 
grow about 214 feet high, and bloom from July on, until 
cut down by frost. They are very easily grown and are 
highly desirable for cutting as well as for beds and bor¬ 
ders. The great abundance and long succession of richly 
colored, fragrant blossoms on long stems, make it one of 
the most useful decorative plants of the garden. 
Flower heads are about two inches across, the florets 
are double and surround the thimble-shaped cone, giving 
it a fancied resemblance to a pin-cushion. We have been 
carefully developing and improving the tall, double, 
large-flowering varieties below, at our great Cliffwood 
Farms, and for size of flower, length of stem, brilliance 
of coloring and ease of growth, our seed cannot be sur¬ 
passed.

TWO NEW SCABIOSA ha 
2458 — Shasta, a pure white flower of truly enormous 
size for a Scabiosa. The flowers are double and measure 
three to three and one-half inches across, are perfectly 
formed, and are borne on stout and extremely long stems, 
making them invaluable as cut flowers. A bouquet of 
these pure white flowers is indeed charming and re¬ 
mains in good condition for a very long period. Easily 
grown. Pkt., 15c; Vs oz., 45c; % oz., 80c. 
2459 — Peach Blossom. Rivals the Shasta above, in 
size; one of the largest Scabiosa ever produced. The large 
and perfect,-very double blooms are borne on long, stiff 
stems, hence are splendidly suited for cutting. The beau¬ 
tiful, peach-blossom pink flowers attracted much favor¬ 
able comment from all who saw it at Cliffwood Farms, 
and all agreed that it is one of the finest colors they had 
ever seen in Scabiosa. Pkt., 12c; Vs oz., 40c; 14 oz., 70c.
