Everlastings For Winter Bouquets 
Everlasting or Strawflower refers to flowers which hold their form and color indefinitely after drying. Flowers 
of this type possess beautiful colors and graceful form which makes them very useful for Winter bouquets. 
They 
are also very useful for fresh bouquet arrangements during their months of bloom. 
Preparing the blooms for Winter bouquets is simple. 
Helichrysum and Statice should be cut before they 
have fully opened. The stems should be stripped of foliage, tied in bunches and suspended with head downward 
in a dry room. This method will keep the stems straight. 
Not all should be dried in this manner, however. 
Selecting a few of each species with gracefully arching stems and permitting them to dry over a curved surface 
will supply enough natural material to guard against stiffness. 
flowers are thoroughly dry. 
HELICHRYSUM, Strawflowers: Gay white, yellow, 
crimson, rose, and salmon colored flowers. May also 
be used as a temporary hedge. Start in the house 
April 10th or in the garden after danger of frost. 
Thin to 12 inches. Height 2 ft. Mixed colors. 
Pkt. 20 cts.; Lg. Pkt. 40 cts. 
CELOSIA CRISTATA, Dwarf Cockscomb: One of 
the showiest annuals. Small flowers of brilliant 
golden yellow, crimson or other shades of red, 
crowded into velvety fasciated masses that resem- 
ble a rooster’s comb. Also very useful as a bedding 
plant. Start in the house April 10th or in the garden 
after danger of frost. Thin to 10 inches. Height 
1 ft. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 15 cts.; Lg. Pkt. 25 cts.
