A hardy annual with Ions? spiral 
stems, bearing an abundance of 
small, round, greenish yellow buds

up into boquets and other floral 
work. 11s long beautiful, fringy 
spirals of lovely green are unsur¬ 
passed. It is one of the easiest 
plants to grow and seed may bo 
sown early in the open ground.
