COSMOS, NEW GIANT VARIETIES. 



Cosmos, New Giant Fancy— This new strain of Cosmos 

 is notable both for purity of color and the gigantic size of its 

 flowers. The broad petals overlap each other producing per- 

 fectly circular flowers of splendid substance, which measure 

 4 inches across, sometimes even reaching- 5 inches in diameter. 

 Pkt 10 cts, three for 25 cts. 



Cosmos, New Yellow — A distinct new variety, with 

 beautiful yellow flowers, blooming from early Summer to late 

 in the Fall. Pkt 10 cts. 



Cosmos, New Giant White and Pink— Very grand and 

 beautiful; giant flowers of purest white, sometimes very light- 

 ly tinged with pink. Pkt 5 cts. 



Cosmos, The Klondike, New — The so-called Yellow 

 Cosmos, which I never offered, is not a Cosmos at all! It is 

 simply the old small-flowered Bidens ferulaefolia. Tfcis va- 

 riety from Mexico, now first introduced, produced at Fordhook 

 the past Summer magnificent bright yellow flowers, 2^ to 3 

 inches in diameter. Pkt. 10 cts, three for 25 cts. 



Cosmos, Dawn— This new variety comes into bloom in July and con- 

 tinues to flower until cut down by severe frost. Of good size ; the hand- 

 some circular flowers are white, with a delicate tint of rose at the base of 

 the petals. The plants are of a compact, bushy growth, four and one- 

 half feet. Valuable particularly for the North, where the seasons are too 

 short for other strains. Pkt. 10 cts, three for 25 cts. 



Marguerite Carnations, California Giants — This is a 

 very greatly improved strain of the Xew Marguerite Carnation, 

 which is so popular because it produces fine, fragrant, double 

 flowers in only four months from seed. The plants are dwarf 

 and compact, though of vigorous growth. Comes into bloom ear- 

 lier than the Marguerites. Produces much larger and morefinely 

 double flowers, continue to bloom profusely until the flower buds 

 are destroyed by heavy frosts. Finest colors mixed. Pkt. 10 

 cts, three for 25 cts. 



New Dwarf Margaret Carnation — Like its parent 

 the Marguerite.this Carnation blooms in four months from 

 sowing, but is as much in advance of the type as the new 

 French Cannas are ahead of the old "Indian Shot." The 

 flowers are larger, more double and the variety of colors 

 is infinitely greater. The plants grow about 15 inches 

 high, flowers always erect. If taken up in the Fall, the 

 plants will bloom all Winter. Pkt. 5 cts, 6 for 25 cts. 



Calceolaria, Prize Strain — The blooms are 

 remarkable for their oddness of shape, for their 

 size, and for richness, diversity and delicacy of 

 coloring. Seeds may be sown from May to August 

 in light, rich, well sifted soil, and frequently trans- 

 planted. Tender perennials. One foot in height. 

 Pkt. 10 cts, three for 25 cts. 



Cactus, Mixed Varieties — Beautiful plants 

 for pot culture in the window or in the greenhouse. 

 Pkt 5 cts. 



Coreopsis Lanceolata — Large golden yellow 

 flowers; profuse bloomer; keeps in flower through- 

 out the Summer; one of the best hardy plants. 

 Pkt 3 cts. 



Catchfly, Mixed — Showy, early -flowering gar- 

 den annuals. Pkt 3 cts.
