DOUBLE CRIMSON COSMOS. 



Is there any record of a double crim- 

 Bon 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. Thev are more likely to come 

 single altogether. You could perhaps 

 have perpet^uated your sport by rooting 

 some cuttings and carrying them over 



winter' in a cool house. II' tliest; gave 

 duulile (lowers, furtlier propagation 

 eoiild lie eairied out. The cuttings root 

 (liiite readily. (_". W. 



Bostic, N. C— The A'aldesian Nurser-
