Scabiosa Imperial Giants Blue Moon 
The flower form of Scabiosa, Imperial Giants Blue Moon, is 
quite different from the existing forms of other varieties of 
Scabiosa. Instead of a flower composed of a few rows of broad 
petals surmounted by a flat pincushion-like top of small petals, 
this new type has flowers composed entirely of broad, heavy, 
wavy petals, eliminating the pincushion center entirely. In other 
words, the flower is literally fully double. Because of this complete 
doubleness, the flowers are of course extremely large and deep, 
2 3 /4 inches across and 2 to 2 3 / 4 inches deep, about the shape of an 
old-fashioned beehive. The color is a rich deep lavender blue, 
a shade which maintains its effectiveness indoors or out. The 
plant type is just as great an improvement over the old as the 
flower itself. Plants are extremely upright, growing tall, 42 to 48 
inches in height, the long, heavy yet wiry stems hold the flowers 
proudly erect, completely eliminating the weak necks which are 
a fault of older types. Blue Moon is ideal for cutting, because of 
the stem length and especially because the large beautifully 
shaped flowers are a luscious shade of deep lavender blue so 
hard to find in annual flowers.

Compactum “ Firmament ” 
In order to obtain a good ornamental effect with color com¬ 
binations in beds and borders the florist wants plant material on 
which he can rely for shade and readiness in blooming. Such 
material is this new Cynoglossum ''Firmament'' with its rich 
flowers of vivid indigo blue. The plants form healthy, compact 
bushes, sending forth from ground level numerous evenly spaced, 
sub-divided stems which are thickly covered with bright blue 
flowers, resembling Forget-Me-Nots.
