Centaurea Imperialis (Annual) 

 or Imperial Sweet Sultan 



These beautiful giant-flowering "Sultans" produce long-stemmed, exquisitely 

 fringed blossoms three to four inches across, of graceful effect, and are delightfully 

 fragrant. The colors vary, some having centers of a different color, as violet with 

 white center, etc. For bouquets and vases they are exceptionally beautiful. If cut 

 when 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. (See illustration.)
