Salvia splendens compacta, Mystic Flame 
Scabiosa grandiFlora^ Rosette 
Novelty, 1937 
The Annual Scabiosa is one of our most satis¬ 
factory garden flowers for cutting, and this new 
variety is one of the most beautiful of the family. 
The large flower-head is a lovely shade of deep rose, 
heavily suffused with salmon, an unusually attrac¬ 
tive color. The plant habit is all that could be 
desired. This novelty is the result of many years of 
selection and painstaking care by the originators in 
endeavoring to perfect this particular shade. The 
color changes slowly as the flowers age and is 
beautiful at all stages, even when the blooms begin 
to dry up. Pkt. 35 cts.
