CORNFLOWER—(See Bochelor Button) 
The blooming period of most annuals can be materially 
prolonged by cutting off faded flowers before they have a 
chance to produce seed. The process of seed production is a 
heavy drain on the plant’s vitality. By preventing seeds 
from maturing much of the plant’s energy is saved, and is 
used for the development of more flowers and a stronger 
foliage growth. 
This practice applies chiefly to the Ageratum. Calendula, 
Candytuft, Carnation, Dahlia, Delphinium, Gaillardia, Mari¬ 
gold. Myosotis, Nasturtium, Pansy, Salpiflossis, Scabiosa. 
Sweet Peas, Tithonia, and Verbena.
