Candytuft (Iberis)m 
Very showy, branching annual plants that 
produce flowers which embrace nearly all 
shades of red, purple and white. The seed 
may be sown any time indoors and the plants 
set out where wanted to bloom, when the 
weather is suitable. A succession of sowings 
lengthens the season of bloom. Seed sown 
outdoors in spring will produce flowers from 
July until September. Is very effective for beds, 
borders, etc., and useful for pot culture during 
winter. Grown extensively by florists for cutting.

Centaurea (Cornflower)* 
C. Cyanus is the favorite Bachelor’s Button , or Ragged Sailor. This class is of the earliest culture and 
produces an abundance of bright colored and beautifully formed flowers throughout a very long season. The strain 
of seed we offer is a very much improved one and embraces everything 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.

Centaurea (Perennial Flowering). 
These differ from the Cyanus in their stronger growth, greener foliage and larger, sweeter flowers. To obtain bloom 
the first season, seed should be sown early indoors. Any ordinary garden soil will answer, but a warm light one gives 
best results.
