PIN CUSHION FLOWER, Scabiosa (a) 
These beautiful hardy annuals are in great demand. They 
grow about 214 feet high and bloom from early in July with- 
out interruption until cut down by the frost. As a flower 
for cutting they are very popular. Seeds should be sown any 
time in the fall or spring. 
Imperial Giants, Blue Moon. Honorable Mention, All-America 
Selections, 1939. An entirely different and improved flower 
and plant from the existing Scabiosa varieties. Fully double, 
extremely large and deep. Petals broad, heavy, and wavy, en- 
tirely eliminating the pincushion center; rich deep lavender 
blue. Tall growing and very upright with long, wiry, heavy 
stems in which the weak neck of the older types is completely 
eliminated. Ideal for cutting. Pkt. 10c.

SCHIZANTHUS (See Butterfly Flower) 
STOCKS, Gilliflower (a) 
These popular flowers are easily grown, are so highly fra- 
grant, and of such great beauty that they deserve a place in 
every garden. 
The plants will go through the winter uninjured by frost, 
and bloom very early. Sow seed in the fall in open ground or 
in flats. In thinning out, remember that weak and delicate 
plants are those which usually grow the best double flowers.

steady stems in a brilliant range of diversified colors.

flowers make this the outstanding variety. It is about as early

plant is less spreading and taller. Height, 2 feet.
