SEEDS OF EVERLASTING FLOWERS. 



This class of plants have become very popular, and are generally 

 cultivated for their beautiful rich-colored flowers, which are desirable 

 for making up winter bouquets, wreaths, and Christmas decorations. 

 They should be cut when in perfection, tied in small bunches, and 

 dried slowly in the shade with their heads downwards, to keep the 

 stems straight.
