During the past summer my attention was drawn to some "Celosias" growing in the garden of an amateur in this city. There were only two that grew to any size. The largest measured 30X18 inches. The plants in height were not over two feet and a half, and were never transplanted. During their entire growth they received no attention save the driving of a stake to support the flower. Seeing a description of the Chelsea coxcomb in the Monthly, I thought I would write vou about this South Carolina one.
