EVERLASTING OR STRAW FLOWERS — Stent 
The so-called Everlasting flowers compose a useful class as the flowers are straw-like, and. 
when cut and dried in the shade retain their color and beauty for months. They are desirable 
for room decoration during Winter when fresh flowers are not available. Many of these flowers 
are valuable for showy beds in the garden during Summer; all of them are of easy culture. 
Every gardener should have a big bed of these.
