MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 



EVERLASTING FLOWERS. 



HELICHRYSUM. 



Not only one of the most popular Everlastings for winter use, but 

 also almost as showy in the garden as an Aster. The blossoms are 

 large and double and come in many shades of yellow and scarlet. 

 For winter bouquets, gather as the flowers are about to expand. 

 Annual. 2 feet. Pkt., 3 cts. 



ACROCLINIUM. 



One of the most beautiful Everlastings, making a showy appear- 

 ance in the garden, and 

 one of the finest for 

 preservation in the 

 winter bouquet. Flow- 

 ers densely double and 

 pure white with golden 

 center. For preserva- 

 tion the flowers should 

 be cut the first day 

 they open and hung 

 head downward in the 

 shade to dry. Thus 

 they will retain their 

 bright center. Pkt., 3c. 



AMMOBIUM 

 A LATUM. 



A hardy, robust plant 

 and a great bloomer. 

 The flowers are on long 

 stems, pure white and 

 very double, but quite 

 different in appearance 

 from the Acroclinium. 

 For dry flowers, treat 

 as for Acroclinium. 

 Preserve plenty of 

 buds also, as they con- 

 trast well with the 

 full blown flowers. 

 Pkt., 3 cts. 



Collection of Ever- 

 lasting*. 1 packet 

 each of the above five 

 Helichrysum (Everlasting). varieties, 15 cts. 



EDELWEISS. 



This is the famous "Alpine Edelweiss," which 

 so often appears in song and story, and of which 

 travelers in Switzerland say so much. The flow- 

 ers are pure white, star-shaped, and are covered 

 with a downy texture. If picked when on the 

 point of opening and dried in the shade, they 

 will retain their natural appearance for years. 

 Perennial. 1 foot. Pkt., 7 cts. 



GLOBE AMARANTH (Gomphrena). 



Everyone knows the Globe flower, which from 

 its durability was considered by the ancient 

 poets as the emblem of immortality. The plants 

 bear great quantities of clover-like blossoms, at- 

 tractive both in buds and flowers. Cut the 

 blooms after they are well matured. Remove the 

 cottony covering and start the seeds in the 

 house, if possible, as they are quite 6low to ger- 

 minate. Mixed. Pkt.. & cts.
