tinct from the Dwarf YellowCosmos. This 
large-flowering tall yellow Cosmos grows 
from 6 to 8 feet high, forming beautiful

In the North, to get them in bloom beiore 
frost, seed should besown early in the house, 
and the plants grown onin small pots until 
time for planting out in May. We intro- 
duced this variety last season, and we 
understand it is being reintroduced by 
some houses this year as ‘‘ Early-flow- 
ering Klondyke,” whichis unfortunate, 
as itis not early flowering, excepting from 
fall-sown seeds, which in mild climates live 
through the winter and produce the next
