Scabiosa /i 
Mourning Bride 
Pin-Cushion Flower 
} 
Wherever annuals are grown for cut-flower purposes, 
Scabiosas should ALWAYS be included. 
The plants reach a height of about 2^ feet and 
begin blooming in early July, continuing without 
interruption until hard frost. The flowers 
are fully as large as illustrated, and the 
colors are as nearly accurate as good color 
printing can register them. 
They make effective lines in the flower- 
garden. For best results, sow seed as soon 
as trees are out in leaf, in a well-pre¬ 
pared seed-bed, transplanting plants 
so as to leave 1 foot between them. 
Keep flowers well cut, as this helps to 
increase blooming. The beautiful flow¬ 
ers are borne on long stems and will 
keep almost a week in water aftei 
cutting.

TAHOKA DAISY 
This new annual is easy to grow. Seeds sown in the open in early 
spring produce plants which will be covered with lavcnder-blue, 
daisy-like flowers from July to mid-October, despite heat and dry 
weather. The Daisies are \]/2 inches across and are carried on long 
stems. This feature, their beauty, and the length of time they last 
in water, combine to make the Tahoka Daisy an ideal cut-flower. It 
is highly decorative in the garden also, growing around 20 inches high.
