CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS.

Centaurea (Cornflower). 
C. Cyanus is the favorite Bachelor’s 
dutton, 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.

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.
