SCHIZANTHUS (See Butterfly Flower) 
PIN CUSHION FLOWER, Scabiosa (a) 
These beautiful hardy annuals are in great demand. They 
grow about 2% 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. An entirely different and im- 
proved flower and plant from the existing Scabiosa varieties. 
Fully double, extremely large and deep. Petals broad, heavy, 
and wavy, entirely 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 com- 
pletely eliminated. Ideal for cutting. Pkt. 10c. 
Rosette. Very large flowers of deep rose suffused with sal- 
mon. Long stiff stems. Pkt. 15c. 
Azure Fairy. Bright blue. Pkt. 10c. 
Loveliness. Salmon rose shades. Pkt. 10e. 
Peach Blossom. Peach blossom pink. Pkt. 10e.

HARDY PERENNIAL VARIETIES 
Caucasica. Giant Hybrids (Isaac House Strain). Fringed and 
ruffled, shades of blue from lavender to dark blue; very large 
flowers. Pkt. 15ce. 
-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. 
TEN WEEK STOCKS. Double rosette-like blossoms on fine 
steady stems in a brilliant range of diversified colors.

Beauty of Nice. It follows the Ten Weeks class in season 
of bloom. The plants are pyramidal in shape, branching above 
the base. Excellent for bedding and cutting. Height, 16 inches. 
Finest Mixed Colors. Pkt. 10c. 
GIANT IMPERIAL. Long stems and imposing spikes of large 
flowers make this the outstanding variety. It is about as early 
as Beauty of Nice and resembles it in habit, except that the 
plant is less spreading and taller. Height, 2 feet.
