Exceedingly graceful plants, with 

 everlasting flowers ; much used 



c for winter decoration. The 

 flower heads should be gathered 



I when young if to be preserved. 



[ Pretty, and easily cultivated. 



The Globe Amaranths are known 

 by their round heads of flowers 

 also called "Bachelors' But- 

 tons." An old favorite for win- 

 ter bouquets. The best soil is a 

 mixture of sandy loam, stable 

 manure and some silver sand. 



"Eternal Flowers." All are 

 greatly admired 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. 



I Very beautiful, delicate looking 

 \ Everlastings, much prized for 

 winter bouquets. 



One of the oldest Everlastings j 

 C the flowers retain their color and 

 form longest of all.
