GAY CORNFLOWERS
The intense blue shades of modem cornflowers are very attractive when used for decorative purposes, and the way to grow the finest _ blooms is to sow seeds of a good strain toward the end of February. The plants are perfectly hardy and are sown in the open ground in soil that has been dug deeply. Sow the seeds thinly, for the plants will grow vigorously and take up a good deal- of room. Thin out the seedlings until they are about 12in apart, but the final thinning, should not be done : until spring.
