- Burpee’s Scabiosa 
Known as the Pincushion Flower because the stamens of some vari- 
eties are light in color and stick out in contrast to the petals so that 
they resemble pins stuck in a cushion. The deep black color of one 
variety has caused it to be called Mourning Bride. Does well in widely 
different kinds of soil. Blooms from midsummer until frost if flowers 
are not allowed to go to seed. Last well when cut—in fact, it is one of 
the nicest flowers for cutting and very easy to grow. 
Medium Tall Large Flowered Double Scabiosa 
A new group of annual, large-flowered double scabiosas. Plants are 
medium tall, coming in between the talls and the dwarfs, their average 
height being 2 ft. Bloom most profusely from midsummer until frost if 
flowers are not allowed to go to seed. Pretty in beds and borders; highly 
prized for cutting as the stems are so long and strong.
