SCABIOSA—Pincushion Flower . . . For Bouquets 
In beauty, dependability, and all-around utility you cannot beat 
the Hardy Scabiosas. Their cool, translucent, frosty blooms are pro- 
duced for months in summer and fall and when cut, they stay in 
perfect condition for days and days. The shallow saucers of broad, 
fringed petals surround a lighter, crest-like cushion. The magnifi- 
cent blossoms are 21/2 or more inches across and come in ivory 
white and delightful shades of soft lavender blue to rich amethyst 
on strong stems 2 to 21/2 feet tall. Give Scabiosas a light, open 
soil that is well-drained. A sunny, warm spot is best and many 
experts recommend adding lime to the soil. Water in dry weather and 
remove dead blooms to lengthen the blooming season. Space the 
plants 10 to 12 inches apart and arrange in groups

SCABIOSAS .. . Long-blooming and Long-lasting 
SEDUM—Stonecrop for Crevice and Rock Garden 
The two varieties below are distinctive, uncommon sorts greatly 
superior to the average Sedums one sees in gardens across the 
country. These grow best in light or part shade with average soil 
and moisture conditions. They are not suited to hot, dry banks in 
full sun although once established they will grow with less moisture 
than most plants. Use them freely in the crevices of your rock wall 
or in groups in your rock garden. Space 6 in.

“Cape Blanco Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
A conspicuous and charming variation of our native S. spathulifolium 
discovered several years ago on isolated cliffs of the Oregon coast. 
The close-packed rosettes of silver-powdered, evergreen leaves 
make admirable mats 3 inches high and a foot or more across. 
Above this radiate short-stemmed sprays of golden stars in late 
spring. This silver and gold effect always brings the ‘’oh’s’’ and 
‘‘ah’s’’ from amateur and expert gardeners alike. 
*cauticolum (fall delivery only) Each 65c, three $1.60, six $3.00 
A new variety which increases in popularity yearly! The slender, 
arching stems, 6 to 8 inches long, are clothed with plump, silvery 
blue green leaves and terminate in showy, flat heads of bloom. 
These open to a marvelous red-wine color in late summer and fall.
