 inches high, and are in bloom 

 from the beginning- of August 

 to the end of September, almosc 

 uninterruptedly. In shape the 

 plants resemble the Victoria 

 type, except the flowers are 

 looser, ■ which gives them a 

 very g-raceful appearance. The

 blue, dark blue and crimson.

New Plume 

 Celosia " Magnificent " 



This new strain of Celosia is 

 of unusual beauty, g-rowing' 

 either in a border or as single 

 specimens. The plants are of 

 compact, pyramidal g-rowth, 

 about two feet in height and 

 the same in diameter. They 

 branch freely, and are well 

 set with dark green foliage, 

 and each stem or branch 

 terminates in a large, broad, 

 feathery head of the most at- 

 tractive plume-like character. 

 The colorings are most bril- 

 liant and varied; some of the 

 plumes are in clear, glowing 

 shades of yellow, others crim- 

 son, scarlet and bright red, 

 with a large range of inter- 

 vening shades. We specially 

 recommend it as the best and 

 brightest Celosia in cultiva- 

 tion. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts.
