SCABIOSA, Hardy Varieties
Caucasica Perfecta. The old "Caucasian Scabious" is recognized as one of our
handsomest hardy perennials, forming dense, spreading plants 2 to 3 feet high, thriv-
ing in any ordinary garden soil. In this new variety, "Perfecta," we have obtained
the highest perfection of this type; the semi-double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across,
are poised on stalks 1 Yi to 2 feet long, making them of exceptional value cut for
vases, etc. The coloring of the flowers is a beautiful lilac-blue shading to deep
blue Pkt. 15c.
