CENTAUREA This important family of flowers is particularly 

 well adapted for use in bedding or in border planting. The 

 types cultivated for their flowers have bulging calyxes 

 from which many finely cut petals expand. Others have a 

 downy growth on their leaves, making the foliage quite 

 ornamental. All of them are of easy culture from seed. 



Cyanus Double (Bachelor Button) [hA-2 ft.] This superb 

 class of Cornflowers produces handsome, large, double 

 blooms which are eff'ective out-of-doors and make fine 

 bouquets. Individual flowers are much used by gentlemen 

 as boutonnieres.

■ I mperialis (Sweet Sultan) [hA-2J'2ft.] This beautiful group 

 has flowers with deeply fringed petals closely held in 

 rounded calyxes. They are graceful in form and delicately 

 scented. Because they have long stems and keep fresh a 

 long time, they are especially desirable for cutting.

Gymnocarpa (Dusty Miller) [hP-18 in.] The leaves of this 

 ornamental border plant are silvery gray and deeply cut. 

 It makes a fine contrast when used with masses of green 

 foliage, and it is ei¥ective in window boxes with flowering 

 plants of taller growth. 



CHEIRANTHUS (Siberian Wallflower) [hB-R-12 in.] This 

 unusual little plant deserves a place in your rock garden or 

 low border. The upright spikes bear numerous four-petaled 

 flowers of a dazzling rich orange. Though a hardy biennial, 

 it flowers the first season from seed and when established 

 will bloom throughout the summer.

CHRYSANTHEMUM [hA] These summer blooming sorts 

 are of robust habit, very easy to grow, and make a fine 

 display in the border. They should not be confused with the 

 fall or Japanese varieties which are propagated only by 

 root division. The single and double types come chiefly in 

 shades or combinations of yeUow and white. They are most 

 suitable for cutting.

CINERARIA [tP.] Few decorative plants compare with the 

 resplendent Cineraria. In a mild climate like that of Cali- 

 fornia they can successfully be grown out-of-doors. In 

 colder climates they make ideal pot plants to be grown in 

 a cool place in the house. The large velvety leaves are at 

 the base of the plant, and these are sometimes completely 

 covered with the daisy-like flowers. Their colors are vivid 

 in shades and combinations of purple, red, blue, and white. 



Hybrida Large Flowered Mixed [16 in.] At our California 

 breeding station we have reselected the best of the American 

 strains to produce larger flowers with attractive narrow 

 petals, and in a wide range of colors. 



Stellata [2 ft.] A distinctive class, the plants of which are 

 open growing and very floriferous. The loose clusters of 

 graceful, star-like flowers are unusually decorative.
