AUSTRALIAN STAR FLOWER 



(Cephalipterum Drummond!.) Pkt. 

 A half-hardy annual lately discovered 

 in West Central Australia. This 

 surpassingly unique and beautiful 

 plant grows readily from Seed in 

 any garden soil. Blooms early in 

 the season and continues in bloom 

 for a long time. The fragrant flow- 

 ers are of a pleasing rosy crimson 

 shade, sometimes approaching pure 

 white, are produced in large grace- 

 ful clusters which, when cut, retain 

 their form and color, no other flower 

 in any way equalling it in grace and 

 keeping qualities. Plants are bushy, 

 one foot in height. Sow early in 

 the open ground, or may be started 

 early in the house and transplanted. 10
