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 cut- 
ting, 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 recom- 
mendation. For ordinary 
Sweet Sul Ians , see page 255. 
Height, feet. 
May be sown in pots and 
pricked out for early flowering, 
or in open borders in spring 
for general work.
