CELOSIA MYSTIC 
Out of hundreds of flowers on our testing grounds this 
Celosia made a real impression on the visitors. It’s the color 
that did that. Mystic belongs to the Plumosa class of celosia. 
The stately plant is 5 feet tall, pyramid-like in growth re- 
minding one of a well formed young spruce tree. The lower 
branches of the plant are four feet in length with shorter and 
shorter branches all along the stalk; the tip of the plant is 
crowned with a magnificent large flower with a color truly 
new, never before seen. A mystic color, unseen in the flower 
kingdom of a color one would vainly look for in a color chart. 
A large bed or even a few specimens of Mystic will draw the 
attention of both flower lovers as well as the neutral part of 
the public when it comes to flowers. 
It is hard to describe the color of this new celosia since 
there is nothing that this color could be compared with. A 
blend of gold, orange, carmine, chrome yellow, overcast with 
fiery scarlet. This intermingling of colors results in a new 
color that no description can do justice —it must be seen. 
Supply of seed limited. T. pkt. 20c; 1/16 oz. 40c.
