SCABIOSA - Pin Cushion Flower 
The most popular and certainly the most 
“thankful” of all garden annuals. Flowers are 
large, fully double, showing white stamens 
toward the center, hence the name Pin Cushion 
Flower, and carried on stiff thin stems fully 
2 feet long. Scabiosa offer a good range of 
colors, grow in any ordinary garden soil, and 
give us fine cut flowers all summer. As the foli- 
age is quite sparse, Scabiosas can be planted 
close to other plants without apparent crowding. 
Sown in pans in March and transplanted in May, 
the plants flower early and freely. It may also 
be sown at the beginning of April in the open 
ground where intended to flower. Height of all

SALPIGLOSSIS Half-Hardy Annual 
Salpiglossis are highly ornamental annuals, 
with large, veined, funnel-shaped flowers; much 
prized for cutting; very showy in beds or bor- 
ders. A bed of these beautiful plants is one of 
the most striking features of the garden during 
July and August. Salpiglossis also make splendid 
pot plants for groups in the greenhouse. 
If an early display is wanted, a start should 
be made at the end of February or beginning of 
March, by sowing on a moderate hotbed. In 
May the plants will be ready for flowering 
quarters. Or sow in April in the open ground 
where the plants are to remain. For flowering 
under glass, seed should be sown in August or 
September, and under cool-house treatment the 
plants will bloom profusely in the following 
spring.

SCHIZANTHUS - 
Poor Man’s Orchid 
Schizanthus should be grown in every garden 
for it is a lovely plant with masses of small 
Orchid-like blooms making an effective and 
unusual show in the border. As a cut flower it 
is exquisite when used to-fill in flower arrange- 
ments and gives a change from the usual Baby’s 
Breath. For early bloom sow seed under glass 
in early March; for later blooms sow towards the 
end of April or early May. 
Towards the end of April or in May seed may 
be sown out-of-doors. To ensure very fine speci- 
mens for blooming in spring, seed should be 
sown under glass late in August or early in Sep- 
tember. A high temperature is not required for 
Schizanthus, even in the winter months.
