SCABIOSA—Pincushion Flower, Mourning Brideo 
Called 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 

2650 Scabiosa, Blue, White and Pink Shades 
variety has caused it to be called Mourning Bride. Scabiosas are 
easy to grow and do well in widely different kinds of soil. Bloom 
from midsummer until frost. Prized for cutting. 
Medium Tall Large Flowered Double 
Flowers grow 1!4to 2 in. across, almost spherical in shape and borne on 
long, stiff stems. The bushy plants grow 2 ft. tall and bloom profusely. 
2650 Blue, White and Pink Shades. Charming blend of azure-blue, 
pure white and exquisite shades of deep to light pink. Fine for cutting.
