BURPEE’S SCABIOSA—sweet Scabious 
Known as the Pincushion Flower because the stamens of some varieties are light in- 
color and stick out in contrast to the petals so that they resemble pins stuck in a cushion,

in widely different kinds of soil. Blooms from midsummer until frost if flowers are not 
allowed to go to seed. One of the nicest flowers for cutting and very easy to grow.

perennials and by proper selection you can have bloom from spring until fall. If space per-
