CENTAUREA IMPERIALIS or Imperial Sweet Sultan 



These beautiful giant-flowering "Sultans" are grand improvements over the old varieties. 

 They produce long-stemmed, exquisitely fringed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful 

 effect and are delightfully fragrant. The colors vary from white and yellow through 

 reds from pink to crimson and blues, from lilac to purple, some having centers of a 

 different color, as violet with white center, etc. For bouquets and vases, they are 

 exceptionally beautif'.il. If cut scarcely opened they will last for ten days in 

 water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering freely in the garden the 

 first summer from seed sown in the spring. They are of strong, bushy form, 

 2 to 3 feet high.
