CENTAUREA 
C. Cyanus is the favorite Bachelor’s Button, or 
Ragged Sailor. This class is of the easiest 
culture and produces an abundance of 
bright colored and beautifully formed flow¬ 
ers throughout a very long season. The 
strain of seed we offer embraces every¬ 
thing desired in color and form. Sow seed 
early outdoors and thin out the plants to 6 
or 8 inches apart, or in boxes in the house, 
and transplant when large enough.

Selected Strain.—The earliest of all Car¬ 
nations. If sown in early spring they 
will bloom in July or August and con¬ 
tinue until frost. Being half-hardy, a slight 
protection of coarse straw or pine boughs 
during the winter will preserve them, and 
they will flower abundantly the next sum¬
