PINK PLUME CELOSIA 



(Celosia Spicata) 



671. The flowers of this charming Celosia open of a 

 fresh bright rose tint and the lower involucres change grad- 

 ually to a silver}- white, thus presenting to the eve a most 

 charming combination of color. The elegant long-stemmed 

 flowers preserve 

 their beauty even 

 in un favorable 

 weather, and fur- 

 nish quite an excel- 

 lent material for 

 making up bou- 

 quets, etc. In addi- 

 tion to this they 

 are very suitable 

 for drying, and as 

 the plant blooms 

 for a ' very long 

 period, it is equally 

 valuable both for 

 the open border 

 and for culture in 

 pots. Per pkt , 15c.
