Centaurea imperiaHs. 



Centaurea Imperialis is of the easiest culture and flowers con- 

 tinually from early spring- until fall. Flowers are double the size 

 of Centaurea Marguerite, of various tints and colors, pure white, 

 lilac, rose, purple and dark red, supported on long stems, which 

 renders them verj' desirable for cut flowers and corsage bouquets. 

 They have the same delicate odor and form as the Centaurea Mar- 

 guerite. Mixed colors. Pkt., 75 seeds 6 cts 



Centaurea Marguerite. 



The most fragrant and longest keeping cut flower. One of the 

 most valuable introductions of late years. The flowers are the 

 size of a medium Carnation, freely produced on long stems, which 

 renders them valuable for cutting; color pure white, pale sulphur- 

 yellow and lavender. The flowers are sweet-scented, and their 

 lasting quality after being cut is remarkable. The plants grow 

 about eighteen inches high and are of the easiest culture; from 

 spring-sown seed they commence to flower in July and continue 

 until late in the autumn. The novelty is entirely distinct from all 

 other Centaureas, and undoubtedly the most beautiful variety 

 known. Mixed colors. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts. 



Cineraria f Hybrida. 



One of the most popular of all greenhouse plants, and what a 

 splendid display they make when well grown. I know of no plant 

 so easily grown as the Cineraria. The secret of growing well is to 

 grow fast, never allowing them to receive a check, either from 

 being pot bound, dryness of root, or attack of insects; the cooler 

 they are kept the better. In colors they range from crimson, 

 magenta, violet, purple and variegated. I,arge flowering mixed.

Koliiiia Scoparia or Summer Cypress. 



The plants grow freely from seed sown in the open ground, 

 when the trees are coming out in leaf, and from the earliest stage 

 of growth in the spring until they reach maturity in the fall the 

 plants arealii'ciys of globe-like form. The plants branch freely, and 

 the stems are clothed with slender light green leaves. Early in 

 the fall the ends of the shoots are thickly set with small bright- 

 scarlet flowers,—///^ bushy plants resemblt7ig balls of Jire. The 

 plants are equally showy, planted singly to show the round 

 ball-like form on all sides, or grown in continuous rows or hedges.
