Centaurea Cyanus (Cornflower 
or Bachelors Button) are easily 
grown and can be had in sev¬ 
eral good colors, although the 
blue is the most popular. Lately 
a dwarf compact type, Jubilee 
Gem blue, has been intro¬ 
duced from England, and this 
year a lavender or lilac color 
is added to that. The Gem 
type is quite distinct from the 
old original type in being 
dwarf compact, with flower 
stems branching up from the 
base of the plant.
