Celosia Cristata Feathered Cslosia 
CELOSIA 
An odd and picturesque class of plants having colored foliage 
and innumerable small flowers and seed vessels which form 
a brilliant colored mass. The vivid blossoms are sometimes 
gracefully arranged like plumes and in other types form dense 
clusters corrugated and frilled at the edge like cockscombs. 
They retain their brilliant coloring from midsummer until frost.
