Aart & Vicks Centaureas 
and Double Cornflowers 
Easily grown, blooming profusely and equally good for garden display; as for cut- 
ting, 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. 
Bachelor Button or 
Cornflower 
(Centaurea cyanus) 
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 flow- 
ers, and bloom all summer. We have discarded 
the old single-flowering type, the greatly im- 
proved double-flowering kinds offered below 
being much better in every way. 
Larger, brighter colors, more double, this 
new strain will undoubtedly replace the old 
Centaurea cyanus very shortly.
