COSMOS. 
New Race of Double-Crowned and Crested.—The plants are 
similar in habit to our famous strain of early flowering 
Cosmos, and a fair percentage have double crowns, which 
give the flower a very dainty and exquisite appearance. 
The colors are pure white and a delightful shade of shell- 
pink. A large percentage come true f'rom seed, both as to 
color and doubleness. The single which the strain pro- 
duces is also very beautiful.

BLUE LACE FLOWER. 
“DIDISCUS COERULEUS.” 
“Blue Lace Flower.’—None of the easily grown garden 
annuals have within recent years attained greater popu- 
larity than the Blue Lace Flower. It is extensively 
grown by cut flower growers, in the vicinity of New York 
to supply the fashionable Fifth Avenue trade. The Blue 
Lace Flower was introduced into the United States from 
Australia and is a welcome addition to our garden an- 
nuals. The plants grow about 2 feet high, producing 
graceful subdivided foliage. The lovely, umbel-shaped 
flowers, which are composed of a great number of small 
florets, range from 2 to 3 inches across. The color is tha 
most beautiful imaginable, a clear, cerulean or heavenly 
blue—a rare and beautiful shade. The Blue Lace Flower 
if of easiest culture. Seed sown outdoors after danger 
from frost will produce plants which should bloom con- 
tinuously from July to October. It may be grown in 
the greenhouse or conservatory for winter blooming. It 
is also desirable as a pot plant. Pkt., 10c.

Searlet Flame—A large, beautiful,

PkKt., 25e. 
Oriole—We consider this the most 
beautiful of its class. It is an 
immense orange and gold bicolor, 
changing slightly as it ages, but 
at all times worthy of the beauti- 
ful bird for which it is named. Our 
eultures are limited, and we can 
offer Oriole in small quantities only 
this year. PkKt., 25ce, 
New Dahlia Flowered Zinnias.
