SCABIOSA CAUCASICA 
(Blue Bonnet) 
My plants are from the new Housed hybrids and are a remark¬ 
able advance over the old strains of Scabiosa. The flowers are very 
large and exquisitely lovely in varying shades of soft blue, and also 
in an ivory white, with ruffled petals of delicate texture and pure 
color. Their distinction and refinement as well as their long lasting 
quality make them unrivalled as cut flowers. Scabiosa is one of the 
few perennials that bloom all summer long from June until heavy 
frost.

A RARE PENTSTEMON 
(Pentstemon secundiflorus Benth) 
One of our finest natives that is only now beginning to be ap¬ 
preciated as the beautiful garden plant that it is. The foliage is 
clean and neat; the plants are free from disease and insects. The 
slender but strong stalks that need no staking are thickly covered 
with large clear blue and lavender flowers from the end of May to 
the beginning of July, and in a mass give a misty blue color that is 
very lovely. It is strange that such a desirable plant should still be 
almost unknown in the gardens of its native country.
