DOUBLE OBIMSON COSMOS. 



Is there any record of a double crim- 

 son cosmos, and will the seed saved 

 from a double one produce double cos- 

 mos again? Florists here are of the 

 opinion that it will be single next year. 

 These are the conditions: One stalk 

 among hundreds of crimson produced all 

 double flowers — sixteen petals. It 

 bloomed in early August. G. C. H. 



I do not know of any double crimson 

 cosmos on the market, but have seen 

 occasional double, or rather semi-double 

 sports, none of which, however, proved 

 permanent. It is doubtful whether 

 seed produced on a plant which had 

 only one stalk double will yield, at best, 

 more than a small fraction of double 

 flowers. They are more likely to come 

 single altogether. You could perhaps 

 have perpetuated your sport by rooting 

 some cuttings and carrying them over 



winter in a cool house. If these gave 

 double flowers, further propagation 

 could be carried out. The cuttings root 

 quite readily. C. W. 



Bostic, N. 0. — The Valdesian Nurser- 

 ies say that everything is going nicely; 

 big fall trade and the outlook for winter 

 and spring business encouraging. They 

 are preparing to erect a greenhouse in 

 connection with the nursery, on a fine 

 new farm of bottom land they have re- 

 cently purchased in the incorporate lim- 

 its of Bostic.
