DESCRIPTION. 
seed is the cream of several collections 
that are recognized as the best in Europe. 
Breck's Superb is the finest strain in 
' existence; vigor of plants, size, sub¬ 
stance and variety of delicate shades 
of flowers are its features. Seed 
should be sown in light soil, but for 
the final potting a richer soil is neces¬ 
sary, consisting of two parts loam to 
one each of well-decayed manure and 
leaf mould. They require to be well 
ventilated, well watered and slightly 
shaded throughout the summer. 
Beautiful violet-like flowers. 
Valuable for pots and borders. Fine for 
bouquets. 
Tender evergreen plants, suitable for 
pot culture or planting out. 
> Handsome single flowers and glossy foli¬ 
age. 
Graceful plants, with daisy-like flowers; 
useful for winter decorations. I he 
flowers should be gathered when 
young. 
Gather before fully expanded to pre¬ 
serve for winter. 
These are old favorites for winter bou¬ 
quets, and were formerly called 
“Bachelor’s Buttons.” 
SThe flowers are globular in form, of 
delicate colors, and retain their beauty 
for years. They should be grown in 
an enriched sandy loam. 
These are the best known of all ever¬ 
lastings. The flowers are of large 
size and bright colors. The flowers 
should be gathered when partially un¬ 
folded and suspended with their heads 
downward in a cool place. 
They prefer a rich loamy soil. 
Small foliage, large clusters of white and 
golden star-like flowers. 
Very beautifully formed flowers. 
A showy class of everlastings. The 
flowers retain their color and form a 
long time. 
Fine plumes for bouquets. 
Dense, silky, with bright white hairs.
