IHE OSTRICH PLUME CELOSIA " PRIDE OF CASTLE GOULD" 

 is an entirely distinct type of the Celosia Pyramidalis Plumosa, 

 and surpasses by far anything thus far placed on the market. 

 This strain has through constant culture and careful selection 

 and hybridization proven its superiority to anything similar ever offered. 



The following four strong points speak for themselves : 



HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal, compact growth of from two to 

 three feet, Mrith immense, extra fine-feathered heads, gives the plant a 

 most striking and unique appearance. 



MARKET VALUE. The flowers being of such bright and intense 

 color, and the plant of erect growth and beautiful foliage, it creates 

 the greatest admiration, w^herever shown, and establishes a demand for 

 itself that every plant-lover must appreciate. 



COLOR. The following distinct colors are among these hybrids : 

 Blood-red, real Carmine, Golden Yellow, Salmon, Deep Scarlet, Dark 

 Orange and Wine Red. However, by variation, there will be found 

 many more shades ; the self-coloring will be surprising. 



DECORATIVE VALUE. As a pot plant, with rts quick-growing 

 habit, we believe there is no finer plant know^n at the present time, 

 wherefrom in the course of six months a most excellent stock of sala- 

 ble plants in every size can be obtained. As a bedding plant, it cannot 

 be equaled by any other annual for its profusion of flowers and variety 

 of striking colors, and we consider it the queen of all decorative annu- 

 als where showing groups are desired, and when given a fine, sunny 

 exposure it will develop to its highest perfection. 



We offer seed for the first year strictly from pot-grown plants, fur- 

 nished by the introducers, Messrs. Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J. 



All packets we send out will contain mixed seeds.
