LASTING 



Everlastings are very pretty for growing in the flower- 

 beds, and are valuable for drying for Winter decoration. 

 They should be cut as soon as they come into bloom, and 

 hung up in small bunches to dry. All the varieties we 

 offer are of the easiest cultivation, and we strongly re- 

 commend our friends and customers to include some pack- 

 ets in their orders. The flowers should be picked somewhat 

 before they expand and hung up to dry in small bunches, 

 using care to have stems so they will dry straight.
