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 



© „ 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 .
