Scabiosa, Caucasica Hybrids 
Scatiosa (PERENNIAL) 
1156. CAUCASICA HYBRIDS. H. P. The per- 
ennial Scabiosa bloom from June to October and 
require little space and thrive in ordinary soil. 
They are of great value to the gardener as the 
graceful flowers in delicate shades of blue and 
lavender borne on long and erect stems make 
them very valuable as cut flowers throughout the 
season. No perennial garden is complete without 
them. This strain of giant hybrids is very beau- 
tiful and a great improvement over the older 
types, being more vigorous and larger with 
longer stems and larger petals. Plants grow to 
18 inches in height and the lavender shades of 
flowers are frilled on the edges. Pkt., 20c; 2 
pkts., 35c,

strain with exceptionally fine large flowers,

on extremely long, heavy wiry stems up to 30 
inches in length which are produced in quan- 
tity on each plant. They bloom early in the

properly treated. The ends of the stems should 
be burned or dipped in hot water and they 
will last for several days. The color range in 
this mixture includes lovely pastel shades of 
apricot, cream, gold, pink, white and various

1333. LINEARIUS ORANGE. H. A. 
This little dwarf Zinnia much resembles 
a Daisy. It begins to flower when the 
plants are about six inches tall and 
keeps right on throughout the season 
until the late frosts of autumn. It 
never looks untidy as the dozens of 
newly opened flowers prevent the faded 
ones from becoming prominent. Flowers 
are single and a lovely shade of gold- 
en-orange with a delicate lemon-yellow 
stripe through each petal, while the 
center is a dark brown with the young 
flowers turning to golden-orange as the 
flower develops. Plants reach a height 
of eight to ten inches, and with plenty 
of room for development, they spread 
as much as two feet in a season. Lit- 
erally hundreds of flowers are open at 
a time. It is excellent for borders or 
edging and also for window boxes or 
for growing in the garden where a 
dwarf growing plant with vivid color- 
ing is desired. They last nearly two 
weeks when cut and placed in water. 
It usually begins to flower ten weeks 
after the seed is sown. Pkt., 15c; 2 
pkts., 25c.

form of its flowers which consists of 
a five-pointed star. The color is a 
charming shade of rich rose with an 
amber throat. <A fine garden variety 
as it is early and free blooming. The 
plant is strong and so smothered with 
blooms that hardly any foliage shows.
