SCABIOSA HARDY VARIETIES 
Caucasica Perfecta. The old "Caucasian Scabious" 
is recognized as one of the handsomest of hardy 
perennials, forming dense, spreading plants 2 
to 3 feet high, thriving in any ordinary gar¬ 
den soil. In this new variety, “Perfecta," 
we have obtained the highest perfection of 
this type; the semi-double flowers, 3 to 4 
inches across, are poised on stalks 1Y to 2 
feet long, making them of exceptional val¬ 
ue when cut for vases, etc. The coloring 
of the flowers is a beautiful lilac-blue 
shading to deep blue. Pkt. 15c. 
Caucasica Alba. A large, pure white vari¬ 
ety; the flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, on 
longstems, are exquisite for vaseslasting 
a long time in water and they are borne 
freely like those of its blue-colored par¬ 
ent from early summer to late fall.

until late in the autumn. .. Pkt. 15c. 
A NEW giant-flowering race of this beautiful and 
popular garden annual. The immense, Petunia¬ 
like flowers are borne on dwarf, sturdy branch¬

pink, etc., in various shades, are intricately netted, 
pencilled and veined with golden-yellow or other col¬ 
ors. They are of the easiest culture and flower pro¬ 
fusely during the summer. A bed of Emperor

for itself a place, while for beds or masses

culture, blooming the first year from seed, 
and succeeding in any open sunny posi¬ 
tion. The plants grow from 18 to 24
