 lasting 



Flowers. 



Everlastings are very pretty for growing in the flower beds, and are 

 valuable for drying fjr Winter decoration. They should be cut as 

 soon as they come into bloom, and hung up in small bunches to dry. 

 All the varieties we offer are of the easiest cultivation, and we 

 strongly recommend our f'-:ends and customers to include some 

 packets in their orders. The flowers should be picked somewhat 

 before they expand and be hung up to dry in small bunches, using care 

 to have stems so they will dry straight.
