side-shoot of A urea Pyramidalis}. Celosia Argentea, however, produces its flowers in 

 spikes, like a Gomphrena (Globe A maranthus), but much longer ; and, if gathered when

 greenhouse and conservatory plants, where, with a little management, they may be had in 

 flower the whole winter, growing freely in rich loamy soil. Half-hardy annuals.
