In the fall.

spikes of scarlet, or of green, prickly fruit. Of very quick 
growth in rich soil. Tender annual; six to fifteen feet high.

derfully vigorous growth. Plants grow from ten to fifteen

CENTAUREA 
The Centaureas are an exceedingly interesting genus 
of plants, embracing annuals, biennials and perennials, 
which though botanically alike are very different in appear- 
ance. Some are very valuable for the beauty of their silvery 
white, velvet-like foliage, the flowers being unattractive; 
others are highly prized for the beauty of their flowers. 
They are easily grown from seed. 
Centaurea Cyanus. All colors mixed. Pkt., 5 cents. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
The annual Chrysanthemums grow easily from seed 
and bloom freely during the summer and fall. They should 
be given plenty of moisture and as cool a location as pos- 
sible. The flowers are single, daisy-like and of many bright 
colors. 
Summer Varieties. All the best kinds. Pkt., 5 cents. 
COCKSCOMB 
(Celosla Crlstata.) A class of plants having colored foli- 
age, and in which the innumerable small flowers and seed 
vessels, together with their supports, form a very brilliantly 
colored mass, sometimes gracefully arranged like plumes 
and sometimes more dense, being corrugated and frilled at 
the edge like a cock's comb. They form the gayest pos- 
sible decoration, retaining their brilliant coloring for a long 
time after being cut. Very commonly grown out of doors 
but also adapted for the green house or conservatory. Half 
hardy annuals. Plant in light, rich soil, and give plenty 
of moisture. 
Dwarf Varieties. Scarlets, crimson, etc. Pkt., 5 cents. 
COSMOS 
Beautiful and extremely graceful autumn-blooming 
plants, with finely cut foliage. They are fairly loaded with 
large, nodding, white, pink or crimson flowers from mid- 
September until killing frost. They should be started as 
early as possible. When a foot high the tops should be 
pinched out to induce a bushy growth and the branches 
should be kept pinched back until the buds begin to form. 
This will largely increase the bloming surface. They should 
be given some support to prevent being olowm over by high 
winds. 
Mammoth. Finest mixed, white, pink, crimson, etc. 
Pkt., 5 cents. 
DIANTHUS.

will be a mass of flowers.

5 cents. 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA 
(California Poppy.) The state flower of California. A 
genus of the Poppy family, fully as valuable as the com- 
mon Poppy for garden ornamentation as it blooms almost 
continually throughout the season. A bed of these in full 
bloom is most handsome and beautiful in color. Hardy an- 
nuals; height, one foot. 
Mixed Colors. White, yellow and orange. Pkt., 5 
cents.

cents.
