CRISTATA (Tall Cockscomb) 
Royal Velvet. All-America Winner. Early blooming, base-branching 
about 2 feet hight. Extra large center head of rich ruby red with vel- 
vety texture surrounded by numerous erect branches mounted with 
medium-sized combs. The foliage is bronzy green with reddish 
margins. 
GILBERT'S CELOSIAS ; 
Gilbert's Rose Beauty (New). Height 3 to 4 feet, non-branching un- 
less pinched when less than 12 inches high, foliage bright green, 
stems round, strong and straight. Flower-heads when full grown 
are very ruffled and ball shaped measuring 8 to 14 inches across. 
The color is a rather uniform bright pink or rose on a silver base 
and should run 90% or more true to type. It makes an ex- 
cellent cut flower, holding its shape and color better than most 
cristatas. Dries perfectly after being used as a cut-flower. 
Originators Seed. Tr. Pkt. (8300 seeds) 
Maple Gold. Forms round maple-pink heads when quite small.
