Jlant & Vickk Centaureas 
Easily grown, blooming profusely and equally good for garden display; as for 
cutting, these are among the most popular flowers. Sow seed of the annual kinds 
either spring or late fall. Broadcast where you want the plants to bloom. Make 
repeated sowings every three weeks for continuous bloom. 
Centaurea cyanus - Bachelor's 
Button 
Known os Bachelors Buttons, Ragged Sailor,

greatly improved double-flowering kinds of¬ 
fered below being much better in every way.
