CENTAUREA MARGARITA, OR GIANT WHITE SWEET SULTAN. 
Centaurea Marfarita, or Giant White Sweet Suitan.— The flowers of this greatly 
improved annual are much larger than tho.se of any other, and the very essence of white purity. It is most 
<lcliciously scented, with long flower stalks to facilitate cutting, and when cut will last in water fora fortnight. 
In this respect alone it exceeds any other annual we can call to mind. We give this flower the highest possible 
recommend ition. For ordinary Sweet Sultans, see page 229. 
May be sown in pots and pricked out for early flowering, or in open borders in spring for general work.
