Centaurea Marguerite. 
NEW 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 Carna¬ 
tion, 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 their 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 con¬ 
tinue until late in the autumn. This novelty is en¬ 
tirely distinct from all other Centaureas, and un¬ 
doubtedly the most beautiful variety known. Pkt 
40 seeds, 4 cts. 
CENTROSEMA GRAN- 
DIFLORA. 
A hardy perennial vine which 
will bloom in June or July 
from seed sown in April, and 
bears in the geatest profusion 
inverted pea-shaped flowers, 
from to 2% inches in dia¬ 
meter, ranging in color from 
a rosy violet to a reddish pur- 
plej with a broad feathered 
white marking through the 
center, while the large buds 
and back of the flowers are 
pure white, making it appear 
as if one plant bore many diff¬ 
erent colored flowers at one 
time. Pkt., 20 seeds, 4 cts. 
COCCINEA INDICA, 
A remarkably pretty climb¬ 
er. Ivy-like foliage, bright 
and luxuriant, never troubled 
with insects, and admirably 
adapted for trellises, arbors, 
etc. The small flowers are 
soon followed by numerous 
fruits two inches long, which 
turn to brilliant scarlet, spot¬ 
ted with white, rendering the 
vine very pretty. Pkt., 20 
seeds, 4 cts. 
COBAEA SCANDENS. 
Although it does grandly 
outside, it is also a splendid 
house climber, and will do 
well running over windows 
in the house, and will reward 
the grower with an abundance 
of beautiful, large, bell-shaped 
flowers, green at first, but 
rapidly changing to a beauti¬ 
ful deep violet blue. A well 
established plant will run 
thirty to forty feet in a season. 
Pkt., 12 seeds, 4 cts. 
Cobaea Scandens. 
Miss Edith M. Moore, East Springfield, Pa., March 8th, 1897, writes:—This is the third year we have ord- 
erd our flower seeds of you, our Sweet William’s were beautiful and so double they looked like Oerani- 
ums. C/obsea Scandens was magnificent, growing nearly 75 feet in length and completely filled with buds 
and blossoms until frost.
