SCABIOUS.
JThis bright-flowering plant is usually
treated as an annual in our gardens. During
recent years it has been greatly improved both in habit and
range of colours, and is fast becoming one of the most popular
of border flowers. When given plenty of room and the seed-
vessels are kept regularly picked off, it will last through the
whole of the summer. Owing to its sweetness the bees are very
fond of it, and its floral favours also attract all the most beautiful types of butterflies in the neighbourhood. Sow the seed
in heat in February and March in a pan or small box, and transplant the seedlings 3 in. apart in larger boxes; harden off as
spring advances, and set out in the border towards the end of
May. They may also be sown where intended to grow during
March and April.
