Centaurea Imperialis. 
Centaurea Imperialis is of the easiest culture and flowers con¬ 
tinually from early spring until fall. Flowers are double the size 
of Centaurea Marguerite, of various tints and colors, pure white, 
lilac, rose, purple and dark red, supported on long stems, which 
renders them very desirable for cut flowers and corsage bouquets. 
They have the same delicate odor and form as the Centaurea Mar¬ 
guerite. Mixed colors. Pkt., 75 seeds, 6 cts. 
Centaurea Marguerite, 
The most fragrant and longest keeping cut flower. One of the 
most valuable introductions of late years. The flowers are the 
size of a medium Carnation, freely produced on long stems, which 
renders them valuable for cutting; color pure white, pale sulphur- 
yellow and lavender. The flowers are sweet-scented, and tneir 
lasting quality after being cut is remarkable. _ The plants grow 
about eighteen inches high and are of the easiest culture; from 
spring-sown seed they commence to flower in July and continue 
until late in the autumn. The novelty is entirely distinct from all 
other Centaureas, and undoubtedly the most beautiful variety 
known. Mixed colors. Pkt,, 100 seeds, 5 cts. 
Cineraria, Hybrida, 
One of the most popular of all green-house plants, and what a 
splendid display they make when well grown. I know of no plant 
so easily grown as the Cineraria. The secret of growing well is to 
grow fast, never allowing them to receive a check, either from 
being pot bound, dryness of root, or attack of insects; the cooler 
they are kept the better. In colors they range from c nmgp n. 
magenta, violet, purple and variegated. Targe flowering ntliEd.

Kokhia Scoparia or Summer Cypress. 
The plants grow freely from seed sown in the open ground, 
when the trees are coming out in leaf, and from the earliest stage 
of growth in the spring until they reach maturity in the fall the 
plants aye always of globe-like form. The plants branch freely, and 
stems are clothed with slender light green leaves. Early in the fall 
the ends of shoots are thickly set with small bright-scarlet flowers, 
—the bushy plants resembling balls of Jire. The plants are equally 
showy, planted singly to show the round ball-like form on all sides, 
or grown in continuous rows or hedges. Pkt., 200 seeds, 5 cts.
