 Give air to glass frame in warm winter days. Place 

 plants in the garden in early spring. In a mild climate 

 transplant to the garden in September or October

Blue CENTAUREA cyanus: Bluet, Corn Flower, Ragged May-June 

 Sailor, Kaiser Blumen. Hardy annual. Use the tall 2 ^ ft - 

 varieties. Bloom for two months if not allowed to 

 seed. A mass of these plants close-set makes an effec- 

 tive group, especially when surrounded with two close 

 lines of Silene armeria. It is best to sow them in 

 August or early September for May and June bloom, 

 so that later their space may be filled with some spring- 

 sown plants like tall Cockscomb. Sun and almost any 

 soil suit them. Watering and cutting prolong bloom.
