2700 . BRECK’S BOSTONIA SCABIOSA. 
Mourning Bride, or Sweet Little Leaves. 
This is a great improvement on the old-fashioned 
garden Scabiosa. The flower is large, and, while very 
double, still retains its perfect dome shape. It is a lovely 
shade of velvety, brownish purple with a tint of crimson. 
It is very free flowering. Each flower is borne gracefully 
on a long, slender stem,—a quality which makes it inval¬ 
uable for cutting. As a garden annual it is becoming very 
popular, because it is of easy culture, and very effective 
for beds and borders. It blooms continually throughout 
the summer and autumn. Height, 2 feet. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. $1.50.
