GLOBE AMARANTH. 
(GOMPHRENA GLOBOSA.) 
Very handsome and showy everlastings, commonly known 
as Bachelors’ Buttons. The seed of Gomphrena does 
not germinate very well in the open ground, and it is 
best therefore to sow it in a hot-bed, if possible. If the 
cottony coating which surrounds it is removed, the 
seeds will be more certain to grow. Annuals, 2 ft.
