Centaurea, Carl.— The flow¬ 
ers are pure white like C. Margarita? 
but more lasting, while the habit of 
the plant differs, in being of much 
more vigorous growth, and much 
hardier, growing into a large bushy plant from 3 to 4 feet high, with 
deeply cut foliage resembling that of C. Moscliata (Sweet Sultan.) The 
plants bloom for a period of from 3 to 4 months, producing immense 
quantities of flowers on long wiry stems, which together with the fact 
that it is one of the hardiest of the group, renders it one of the most 
profitable for cut flowers. Per pkt. 15c.
