Double Cornflower Giant Sweet Sultan 
Centaurea 
These old-fashioned favorites are easy to grow, take care of 
themselves, and bloom continuously. Sow outdoors in April 
where plants are to stand. Thin to stand 10 inches apart. 
Cornflower ( Centaurea cyanus) Culture 1 
Known as Bachelor’s Button, Bluet, and Ragged Sailor. 
Showy in the garden and fine for cutting. Ht. 2 to 3 ft. 
Double Blue Emperor. An improved strain of the original 
old-fashioned Cornflower. The flowers are much larger, very 
full, and of a more intense blue. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz * 25 cts. 
Double Rose. Full double flowers. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34oz. 25 cts. 
Double Mixed. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz* 25 cts.; oz. 75 cts. 
Giant Sweet Sultans ( Centaurea imperialis) Culture 1 
These are wonderful flowers for cutting—long-stemmed, 
exquisitely fringed, most graceful in appearance, and delight¬ 
fully fragrant. The most beautiful colors are found among 
them. They do well in a rich, loose soil thoroughly prepared. 
Ht. 2 to 3 ft. Mixed. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz * 25 cts. 
Various Centaureas Culture 1 
Americana. The thistle-like flowers, often 4 inches across, are 
deep lavender. Ht. 3 ft. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz * 25 cts. 
Suaveolens (Yellow Sweet Sultan). Very showy, large, bright 
yellow, sweet-scented flowers used extensively by the florist 
as a cut-flower. Ht. 2 ft. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34oz* 25 cts. 
White-leaved Dusty Millers Culture 2 
These are largely used for edging of beds or borders of the 
flower-garden. The glistening white foliage, with bright coleus, 
salvia, or red canna, is very striking. Ht. 1 to 134 ft. 
Candidissima. Grown only for its lanced silver-coated foliage. 
The seed-germination is normally low, and it sprouts very 
slowly. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz * 60 cts. 
Gymnocarpa. Silver fern-like leaves. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz * 25 cts. 
Cheiranthus Culture 3 
Allioni (Siberian Wallflower). Dazzling fiery orange flower- 
spikes on plants 12 inches high. While really a biennial it is 
best treated as an annual. It is very effective in the rockery 
and blooms the first year from seed. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz * 25 cts. 
All Centaureas are good 
garden plants. Americana is 
one of the most showy and 
splendid, especially if a few 
white ones appear among the 
lavender, which sometimes 
happens. Suaveolens should 
be planted with the Sweet 
Sultans. It is exactly like 
them and supplies a color 
they lack. Everybody knows 
and likes the Cornflower, es¬ 
pecially the new double blue 
variety.
