 supplies a wealth of bloom late in the summer. The indi-

 cutting.

 fine winter bouquets if cut when partially opened and dried 

 slowly in a cool place, heads downward to keep the long 

 stems straight. The centers of the double pompon-like 

 flowers are nearly covered by the stiff overlapping petals.
