 Elegant and free-flowering ph.nts, producing in the greatest profusion spikes of the most

 of the varieties have long, beautiful, slender flower- spikes, which may be dried for winter 

 bouquets ; others, again, have feathery or mossy plumes. Plants of the Celosia flower 

 freely if planted out in June in a warm, sheltered situation ; grown in pots, they are the most 

 graceful of greenhouse and conservatory plants, and with a little management may be had in 

 flower the whole winter. They are exceedingly valuable for dinner-table decoration. At the

 dinner-table decoration which was awarded the first prize partly consisted of Celosias. Tbey
