EVERLASTING FLOWERS HELICHRYSUM (Straw Flower) 



The seeds of all the varieties may be sown outdoors early in 

 spring, with the exception of Gomphrena, which sometimes does not 

 germinate well in the open ground, and it is best to sow it indoors 

 and transplant. For winter bouquets, the flowers should be cut 

 before they are fully open, tied in bunches and suspended with the 

 heads down, to keep the stems straight.

SALPIGLOSSIS vs PETUNIAS 



popular- 

 Last season my bed of sallies stood three feet high, and furnished 



beautiful cut flowers all summer. One plant alone produces ten 



dozen blossoms. 



When cut and kept in water, the blooms last a long while, and 



a bowl arrangement as a table centerpiece is extremely attractive. 



They are far superior to the petunia as a cut flower. 



I sow seed inside in March, prick the seedings into flats, as soon 



as they are large enough to handle, and transplant to their beds 



outside about May 20th.
