Crested Cockscomb 
(Celosia cristata) 
The name ‘“‘Cockscomb’”’ applies particu- 
larly to this group, for the flower heads, as 
will be seen from the picture above, surely 
have a resemblance to the form of a rooster’s 
comb. These do best in light soil.

cockscomb which deserves a place in every 
garden; prized for cutting, fresh or dried. 
The dwarf plants, which average 10 in. in 
height, have dark, bronzy foliage and huge
