succeeds well in good soil. Blooms second year.

isphere.

cup-shaped bells, surrounded by a calyx re- 
sembling a saucer, and giving effect of being

CANDYTUFT (Iberis) — Normal germination, 
5-10 Days. These well-known favorites are 
among the most beautiful of our annual flowers. 
The seeds can be sown at all seasons or in fall 
for early flowering. They like rich soil and 
plenty of room to flower freely. Very pretty 
in masses. Bloom 60 days. 1 foot. Does not 
transplant readily. Originally a native of the 
Mediterranean region.

eties, has a showy tropical appearance, singly

CELOSIA (Cockscomb) — Normal germination. 
8-10 Days. The cockscombs are tender annu- 
als, requiring good soil. The plants will produce 
a larger bloom by cutting off side flowers and 
leaving one head only to a plant. If cut before 
maturing the heads may be preserved during 
winter. A native of many warm regions. 
Cristata Tall Mixed. 
Plumed Mixed. 
CENTAUREA (Bachelor’s Button)—Normal ger- 
mination, 8.10 Days. The Centaurea is partic- 
ularly well adapted for border work, and is also 
of value for cutting. Sow where wanted to 
bloom, as seedlings do not transplant readily. 
Very easy to grow and will self-sow freely. 2 
feet. Our strain of Double Blue is superb. Thesé 
are prevailingly Old World plants.
