COCKSCOmB (celosia crlstata). 



Highly ornamental plants, producing crested heads of flowers somewhat resembling a 

 cockscomb. To produce fine combs the soil cannot be too rich, and the plants should be for- 

 warded in hotbed, though showy plants may be raised from seed planted in open ground in 

 May. The oftener they are transplanted or shifted the larger and more beautiful they grow.
