4 to 5 inches across The petals are broad and overlapping, and of splendid substance. For cutting 



this is one of the finest flowers grown. The long stems and feathery foliage lend themselves to 



graceful arrangements. The plants, 5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form. (Seecut.)

 FLOWERING COSMOS. 



Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do 

 not bloom until late in the season. This new 

 early-flowering German strain begins blooming 

 scatteringly in June, the quantity increasing 

 gradually until July and from that time un- 

 til frost the plants are a mass of flowers. 

 The flowers average 3 inches across; the 

 plants are dwarfer than the late-flowering 

 Cosmos offered above, forming compact 

 bushes only 4 feet high. This new German 

 large-flowering Cosmos is so superior to the 

 older early-flowering strains that we have 

 discarded the latter. (.See cut.)
