CELOSIA 
28,000 S. Easy to grow, fine for spring pot plants, beds, and 
borders as well as showy mass effects, all characterize Celosia and 
help to explain the rapid increase in popularity of this showy 
annual. For outdoor bedding and border work, seed may be sown

for transplanting. Recently introduced strains, especially in the 
dwarf classes, are very uniform in habit.

strains are very showy and may be used for cutting.

These two Feather varieties can be lifted to pots or 
transplanted from open ground when in full flower, 
much the same as hardy mums. This, of course, in- 
creases their value for decorative work.
