1 Exceedingly graceful plants with 

 everlasting flowers ; much used 



! for winter decoration. The flow- 



I er heads should be gathered 

 when young if wanted for pre- 



J servation. 



[ Pretty, and easily cultivated. 



The Globe Amaranths are known 

 by their round heads of flow- 

 ers; also called Bachelor's 

 Buttons." An old favorite for 

 winter bouquets. The bestsoil 

 is a mixture of sandy loam, 

 stable manure and some silver 

 sand. 



; Eternal Flowers." Allaregreat- 

 ly admiied for their beauty. 

 The flowers are large and the 

 colors bright. They are highly 

 prized for winter bouquets. 

 Flowers intended for drying 

 should be gathered when 'par- 

 tially unfolded, and suspended 

 with their heads downward, in 

 a cool shed. Succeed best in a 

 rich, loamy soil. 



) Resemble Helichrysum, and are 

 \ useful in the same way. 



] Very beautiful, delicate looking 

 \ Everlastings, much prized for 



winter bouquets. 



I One of the oldest Everlastings; 

 \ the flowers retain their color 

 I and form longest of all.
