 "Ruby". The plant grows about 12 

 inches high producing flowers of a 

 perfect shape and of quite a peculiar 

 most lovely crimson color displaying 

 still more its charm under the sunlight. 

 The stalks also arc almost of the 

 same color and the leaves are of a 

 brownish red, giving the plant a most 

 lovely appearance ; quite a wonderful 

 kind

 Its bushy habit is like that of the 

 C. pyramidalis while the flowers and 

 specially those of the main stems 

 are more like those of the C. cristata. 

 They are dark red , the leaves dark 

 green spotted more or less with dark 

 red. The plant grows most vigorously 

 to about 4 feet in height which 

 makes it invaluable for large groups

4 „ diluta, Dam. 1899. A very 

 profuse flowering bushy plant 

 growing 30 to 35 inches high 

 and covered almost literally with 

 charming lilac-rose flowers with 

 a white centre , about 2 inches 

 across , on long stalks. They 

 are highly adapted for table 

 and other floral decorations 



0 „ eriophora, Dam. 899 This variety 

 is extremely interesting. Although 

 its blooms cannot be compared 

 with those of the large flowered 

 kinds of Centaurea , they are 

 however equally adapted for 

 everlasting bouquets as the rather 

 woolly and spiny buttons keep 

 a very long time. From these 

 buttons emerges the yellow flower 

 like a brush. The plant grows 

 only about 12 inches high .
