CENTAUREA, OR GIANT SWEET SULTAN. 
The flowers of this greatly improved annual are at least twice the size of the older varieties. It is most 
deliciously scented, with long flower stalks to facilitate cutting, and when cut will last in water for a fortnight. 
Jn this respect alone it exceeds any other annual we can call to mind. We give this flower the highest possible 
recommendation. For ordinary Sweet Sultans , see page 255. Height 1 h foot. 
May be sown in pots and pricked out for early flowering, or in open borders in spring for general work.
