The Ostrich Plume Celosia, "Pride 

 of Castle Gould," is an entirely distinct 

 type of tile Celosia pyramidalis plumosa, 

 and greatly surpasses anything thus far 

 placed on 'the market. This strain has, 

 through constant culture and careful selec- 

 tion and hybridization, proven itssuperior- 

 ity to anything similar ever offered. The 

 following strong points speak for them- 

 selves: 



HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal, 

 compact growth of from 2 to 3 feet, with im- 

 mense, extra-fine, feathered heads, give 

 the plant a most striking and unique 

 appearance. 



The flowers being of such bright and 

 intense color, and the plant of erect growth 

 and beautiful foliage, it creates the greatest 

 admiration wherever shown, and estab- 

 lishes a demand for itself that every plant- 

 lover must appreciate. 



COLOR. The plumes are of many 

 beautiful self-shades, including Blood- 

 Red, Carmine, Golden Yellow, 

 Salmon, Deep Scarlet, Dark Orange 

 and Wine-Red. When fully developed, 

 the tips of the plumes attain a lovely 

 golden tint, the combination being very 

 attractive and distinctive ; however, by 

 variation there will he found many more 

 shades: the self-coloring will be snrprising.

DECORATIVE VALUE. As a 

 pot-plant, with its quick-growing 

 habit, we believe there is no finer plant 

 known at the present time, wherefrom 

 in the course of six months a most ex- 

 cellent stock of salable plants in every 

 size can be obtained. As a bedding 

 plant, it cannot be equaled by any 

 other annual for its profusion of flow- 

 ers and variety of striking colors. VV'e 

 ofTer seed raised strictly from pot-grown 

 plants. All packets we send out will 

 contain a mixture of the above colors.
