CZ) 



IS^ 



Handsome and free blooming plants, producing an abundance of graceful flowers 

 on long stems, like miniature Single Dahlias, furnishing an abundance of cut bloom 

 during the fall. It is a half hardy annual, and should be started in heat and afterwards 

 transplanted. They make handsome pot plants, and can betaken indoors at the first 

 approach of freezing, which will greatly prolong their blooming season. The Mammoth 

 Perfection strain is a great improvement on the older sorts. 6 to 6 feet. H. H. A. 

 Dwarf Early Large-Flowering Cosmos "Dawn" — The Cosmos has not had the extend- 

 ed cultivation which it deserves, owing to the lateness with which it flowers. This 

 new variety comes into flowerin July and continues a mass of bloom until cut down 

 by frost. "This feature alone is sufficient to stamp it as a sort of more than ordi- 

 nary merit. It is of dwarf, compact habit, growing 3}^ feet in height, and making 

 a more handsome plant than the tall-growing variety. The flowers are as large as 



the best selections of the old type Pkt 10 



Dwarf Golden— In this variety we have a Cosmos, possessing the invaluable quality for 

 our Northern climate of early flowering. The plants grow to a height of 15 inches, 

 and nothing can excel the beauty of the golden-yellow flowers bo richly contrasted 



on the delicate, glossy, fern-like foliage. Pkt 10 



Early Flowering Klondyke — The plants commence blooming when only 18 inches in 

 height, and continue blooming and growing until they have reached their full 

 height of 4 feet. At this staee this variety presents a grsnd appearance, being per- 

 fectly covered from top to Bottom with rich orange-yellow blossoms, measurlDg 



from 2>^ to 3 inches across. Pkt 10
