Centaurea Margarita. 
A GIANT WHITE SWEET SULTAN. 
It has seldom fallen to our good fortune to recommend to 
public notice so exquisite an Annual as this Centaurea. The 
tribe is well known and meets with approbation wherever grown, 
either under the guise of the much-esteemed Cornflowers of various 
colours, the universally popular Sweet Sultans, or the beautiful 
silvery-foliaged kinds of our greenhouses or sub-tropical gardens, 
but the merits of this particular flower in its own line exceeds all. 
We speak more emphatically of the Centaurea Margarita 
as a cut flower. The blossoms are much larger 
than those of any other, and the very essence of 
white purity. It is most deliciously scented, with 
long flower stalks to facilitate cutting, and when 
cut will last in water for a fortnight. In this respect 
alone it exceeds any other Annual we can call to mind. We give 
this flower the highest possible recommendation. 
No. 355. CENTAUREA MARGARITA. 
In sealed packets, Is. 6d. and 2s. 6d. each. 
11 Mrs. Sheil wishes me to tell Messrs. Carter what splendid 
Canterbury Bells she has now in flower from seed supplied by 
them. They have the most lovely shades of colour, and some of 
the plants are just in shape like a tree, and very large flowers. 
Everyone admires them.” — Kingsdown.

we had from you this Spring have succeeded most admirably. We 
had a perfect blaze of colour.” — Harold Sands, Esq. , Craythorne.
