The plants are fairly covered with blossoms; 

 great favorites for beds, edging, pots and bor- 

 ders, and of the easiest culture. They are

OSLCl (A) 



Among the showiest of our annual garden 

 flowers. They are very effective when massed 

 in the foreground of shrubs or evergreens, also 

 for background planting in flower borders. 

 The dwarf varieties axe excellent for bedding. 



CHILDSI, Chinese Woolflower 



1772 Crimson. A most delightful type of Ce- 

 losia growing 8 to 3 ft. tall and branching so 

 freely as to make a well-rounded plant 2 ft. 

 across. They are covered from mid-summer 

 until late fall with large globular flower heads 

 giving the appearance of wool chenille and 

 the color is a rich crimson that contrasts sharply 

 with the deep green foliage though little of the 

 latter is visible when the plants are in bloom. 

 Likes a sunny well-drained position in the gar- 

 den and is an especially fine cut flower.

CHABAUD'S GIANT FLOWERING (A)

 surpass all the race in richness and variety of 

 coloring, and are surprisingly beautiful. Now

 six months from sowing. Plants upright, bear- 

 ing double blossoms, all perfuming the air 

 with their sweetness. 



Seed should be sown in the spring in the 

 greenhouse, hot-bed or light window of dwell- 

 ing house, in shallow boxes (2 inches deep) 

 of light soil, where the temperature will aver- 

 age 60 degrees. When the seedlings are 2 

 inches high, plant them in the open ground.
