yv/e'TU Giant ImperUt Centaurea* S ^ 



(Centaurea Imperialis.) 



This magnificent new Giant Centaurea is a rapid, easy 

 grower, soon making a large plant. The flower stems are 

 long, the flowers large and very sweet scented. 



This new Centaurea, a cross between C. Moschata and 

 Margaret, represents the best that has been produced in these 

 beautiful summer-blooming plants. The bushes are about 

 4 feet high, of enormous dimensions and are covered with 

 large, beautiful flowers of the same form and fragrance of 

 Centaurea Margaret. The flowers will keep for over a week 

 in water if cut just when they are about to open. It is of 

 easy culture. The color variation is very great, almost infi- 

 nite.

 and laeinated. The flowers possess that peculiar and ar- 

 tistic charm so noticeable in all plants from the Flowery 

 Kingdom. They range in color from pure white, through shades of pink and crimson, many strikingly marked and 

 variegated ; the" coloring and marking is rich beyond description ; nothing could be more dainty and pretty than 

 their charming ruffles and frills. Every one is delighted wnth them. They are perfectly hardy, aie perpetual 

 bloomers, needing only to be cut back every few weeks to bring on a new crop of flowers. Pkt 100 seeds, 8c.
