AN EXCELLENT CUT FLOWER 
1156. CAUCASICA HYBRIDS. H. P. The peren¬ 
nial Scabiosas bloom from .June to Octo))er and re¬ 
quire little space and thrive in ordinary soil. They 
are of great value to the gardener as the graceful 
flowers in delicate shades of blue and lavender borne 
on long and erect stems make them very valuable as 
cut flowers throughout the season. Xo perennial gar¬ 
den is complete without them. This new strain of 
giant hybrids is very beautiful and a great improve¬ 
ment over the older types, being more vigorous and 
larger with longer stems and larger petals. Plants 
grow to 18 inches in height and tlie lavender shades 
of flowers are frilled on the edges. Pkt., 16c; 2

DOUBLE LOS ANGELES 
VERY POPULAR CUT FLOWER 
1018. LOS ANGELES. H. A. Several years 
ago we introduced to the trade a new strain of 
Double Stock Flowering Larkspur of which Los 
Angeles in our opinion was the most beautiful. 
For some reason or other gardeners in general 
have not become acquainted with this variety. 
It is an e.vcellent subject in the garden and 
very showy and combines well with other flow¬ 
ers in Iiouquets. In this variety we have a rich 
salmon overlaid with a brilliant and pleasing 
rose. The foliage is a dark green making the 
large double flowers stand out very prominently. 
The flowers show u]) e.xceedingly beautiful under 
artificial light. Plants grow about two to two 
and one-half feet in height on good stiff stems. 
If you have planted this variety before, we are 
sure that you will jtlant it again. However, if 
you have not grown this beautiful flower, we 
urge you to be sure to include it in vour flower 
garden. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 1/2 oz., 30c; 
oz., 50c.
