Hart & Vicks 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 
a 
Bachelor's Button 
Known as Bachelor’s Buttons, Ragged Sailor, 
Blue Bottle, etc. These hardy, easily grown 
bright-flowering plants are among the most 
attractive and graceful of old-fashioned 
flowers, and bloom all summer. We have 
discarded the old single-flowering type, the 
greatly improved double-flowering kinds of- 
fered below being much better in every way. 
Larger, brighter colors, more double, 
this new strain will undoubtedly replace 
the old Centaurea Cyanus very shortly.
