Celosia plumosa 
Feathered Cockscomb 
Pride of Castle Gould, Mixed. An entirely 
distinct type of Feathered Celosia that sur¬ 
passes in brilliancy of color and vigorous

heads giving it a most striking appearance 
from summer until cut down by hard frost.

Hart & Vick’s Centaureas 
Centaurea cyanus 
Bachelor’s Button 
Known as Bachelor’s Buttons, Ragged 
Sailor, Blue Bottle, etc. These hardy, easily 
grown bright-flowering plants are among the

flowers, and bloom all summer. We have 
discarded the old single-flowering type, the 
greatly improved double-flowering kinds 
offered below being much better in every way. 
Double Blue. Extremely large; rich deep 
blue. Very fine in the garden and as a cut- 
flower. Better than the single blue. 
Double Rose-Pink. Large; clear rose-pink. 
Double Lavender. A clear color.

dition. The plants grow 234 feet high, are
