FARQUHAR'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 



73 



EVERLASTINGS 



These should be grown in every gai^len, not only to brighten it in summer, 

 but as dried cut-flowers for winter decoration. For winter use the flowers 

 should be cut before they are fully expanded and hung, with the heads down- 

 ward, in an airy room to dry. The showy part of the flowers are small straw- 

 like bracts which take the place of petals. The Everlastings are a group of 

 widely diversified form, and not nearly so monotonous as one would suppose 

 from the florist's windows. Commercial growers, it seems, know only the 

 Helichrysums, but all the others are equally handsome and of much varied 

 form.
