plant to the most popular Jubilee Gem Corn- 
flower. Very double, pure white flowers on the

comed by gardeners everywhere because, like 
its companion, it has so many uses and is

Known as Bachelor’s Buttons, Ragged Sailor, 
Blue Bottle, etc. These hardy, easily grown 
bright flowering plants are among the most

the old single-flowering type, the greatly im- 
proved double-flowering kinds offered below 
being much better in every way.
