SCABIOUS. _ Tllis br ight-flowering plant is usually 
treated as an annual in our gardens. During 
recent years it has been greatly improved both in habit and 
range of colours, and is fast becoming one of the most popular 
of border flowers. When given plenty of room and the seed- 
vessels are kept regularly picked off, it will last through the 
whole of the summer. Owing to its sweetness the bees are very 
fond of it, and its floral favours also attract all the most beauti¬ 
ful types of butterflies in the neighbourhood. Sow the seed 
in heat in February and March in a pan or small box, and trans¬ 
plant the seedlings 3 in. apart in larger boxes; harden off as 
spring advances, and set out in the border towards the end of 
May. They may also be sown wnere intended to grow during 
March and April.
