This is a new variety of the Im-

Centaurea (Imperialis) 
GIANT SWEET SULTAN—For sum¬ 
mer garden flowers the Centaureas 
are surely among the best. Each 
plant produces dozens of flowers on 
30 inch stems, making them most 
valuable for bouquet work, as they 
last well after being picked. My 
improved Imperialis or Giant Sweet 
Sultan is a magnificent strain, with 
flowers exquisitely fringed, delight¬ 
fully sweet scented, and at least 
twice the size of the older varieties. 
The plants are also earlier flowering.
