Everlasting Flowers are extremely popular for 

 Basket arrangements and interior decorations 

 during the winter months. They are all easily 

 grown from seed and are attractive subjects in 

 the garden. Among outstanding varieties are 

 included the Acrocliniums (see page 66), Globe 

 Amaranth (see page 74), Honesty (next col- 

 umn), and Statice, the Graceful Sea Lavender 

 (see page 86). 



The heads of bloom measure 6 inches across. 

 The plants, 18 inches high, are healthy, bushy 

 and compact, the leaves are large and luxuriant. 

 Seed sown in the spring produces full-grown 

 plants by July, which flower until cut down by 

 frost or may be grown in pots for winter flowers.

Giant Poppy or Bush Eschscholtzia (A) 

 2478 Sunlite. The bright, Canary Yellow flowers 

 are like those of California Poppies except that 

 they are more crinkled, and of cp enter substance. 

 The leaves are glaucous and thick, but finely 

 cut. The plants grow two feet tall and bloom 

 in September and October. 



Hunnemannias are handsome garden subjects 

 under any conditions. Sown in, a bed with 

 Nigella they offer a pteasing contrast. The 

 flowers are good keepers when cut in the bud, 

 lasting a week. They are attractive combined 

 with Baby's Breath. 



As with all the Poppies, Hunnemannia seed- 

 lings do not transplant readily except just after 

 germinating and when taken with a ball of soil. 

 It is best to sow the seed in May where the 

 plants are to grow, thinning them to 8 or 10 

 inches apart. If early results are desired, start 

 the plants in small pots. Plants withstand 

 drought and prefer full sunlight.
