CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE.

Handsome and free-blooming plants, producing an abundance 



of graceiul 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 be taken 



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. 5 to 6 feet. H. H. A. 



Dwarf Early Large-Flowering Cosmos "Dawn"— The Cosmos 



has not had the extended cultivation which it deserves, owing 



to the lateness with which it flowers. This new variety comes 



into flower in 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 ordinary merit. It Is of dwarf, compact habit, 



growing 3J4 feet in height, and making a more handsome plant 



than the tali-growing variety. The flowers are as large as the 



best selections of the old type 10 



Dwarf dolden— 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 so richly contrasted 

 on the delicate, glossy, fern-like foli- 

 age 10 



New Early- Flowering Klondyke— The 

 plants commence blooming when 

 only 18 inches in height, and con- 

 tinue blooming and growing until 

 they have reached their full height 

 of 4 feet. At this stage this variety 

 presents a grand appearance, being 

 perfectly covered from top to bottom 

 with rich orange-yellow blossoms, 

 measuring from 2}-£ to 3 inches across. 

 A worthy companion to the Early- 

 Flowering Dawn Cosmos introduced 



last year 10
