COSMOS. 
Handsome and free blooming plants, 
producing an abundance of graceful 
flowers on long stems, like miniature 
Single Dahlias, furnishing an abundance 
of cut bloom @uring the fall. Itis a half 
hardy annual, and should be started in 
heat and afterwards transplanted. ‘They 
make handsome pot plants, and can be 
taken indoors at the first approach of 
freezing, which will greatly prolong their 
blooming season. The Mammoth Per- 
fection strain iy a great improvement on 
_ the older sorts. 5to6feet. H.H.A. 
Bwari Early Large-Fiowering Cosmos 
“Dawn”—The Cosmos has not had the 
extended cultivation which it deserves, 
This new variety comes into flower in July 
owing to the lateness with which it flowers. 
and continues @ mass of bloom 
until cut down by frost. This fea- 
ture alone is sufficient to stamp it 
as a sort of more than ordinary 
merit. It is of dwarf, compact 
habit, growing 34 feet in height, 
and making a more handsome 
plant than the tall-growing va- 
riety. The flowers are as large as 
the best selections of the old 
type ae pkt. 10e; 3 pkts. 25 
Dwarf Golden—In this variety we 
have a Cosmos possessing the in- 
valuable quality for our Northern 
climate of early flowering. The 
plants grow to a height of 15 
inehes, and nothing can excel the 
beauty of the golden-yellow flow- 
ers s0 richly contrasted on the 
delicate, glossy fern-like foliage...10 
Early Flowering Klondyke—The 
plants commence blooming when 
only 18 inches high, and continue 
blooming and growing until they 
have reached their full height of 4 
feet. At this stage this variety 
presents a grand appearance, be- 
ing perfectly covered from top to 
bottom with rich orange-yellow 
blossoms, measuring from 24 to 3
