 It resembles a larg-e Helichrysum, and when cut and dried it 

 retains its color and shape as an everlasting flower, render- 

 ing- it a valuable acquisition to the list of straw flowers for 

 winter bouquets. Pkt., 10c.

FLOWERS FOR WINTER BOUQUETS 



No class of plants can be grown more easily than the "Ever- 

 lastings." They thrive in any good garden soil. For a variety 

 of colors the Acroclinum, Ammobium, Gomphrena, Helichrysum, 

 Rhodanthe and Xeranthemum are the favorites, and are pro- 

 duced in brilliant shades of crimson, rose, pink, purple, yellow, 

 orange and white. Seed of these sown in the open ground early 

 in spring will bear quantities of flowers in summer, which 

 •hould be cut when only half expanded, and hung heads down- 

 ward in a dry place, so the stems will remain straight when 

 dried, and during the process of drying the flowers fully open. 



Other plants suitable for this purpose are Gypsophlla pani- 

 culata, Statice, Honesty, Chinese Lantern Plant, Chines© Wool 

 Flower, Echinops, Bryngium and Pennisetum. 1 pkt. each of 

 the above 14 Tmrleties, fl.OO.
