COSMOS, EARLY FLOWERING. 
New Cosmos... 
EARLY FLOWERING HYBRIDS. 
The introduction of this grand novelty gives to the florist, as 
well as the amateur, an improvement which will not only add to 
the popularity, but place the Cosmos among the leading annuals. 
Seed of the new Early Flowering Cosmos, sown in open 
ground in May, produce fiowering plants the first of August, 
fully a month in advance of the ordinary Hybrid Cosmos. This 
variety develops a profusion of delicate rose, purple aud white 
flowers until late in the autumn, long after other garden tlowers 
have faded. 
The flowers of this new Cosmos are a trifle smaller than 
the old variety, but its earliness and extremely profuse flower- 
ing habit will more than compensate for the size. No other 
plant is more attractive through the customary summer 
droughts than the Cosmos, which continues fresh and green, 
growing more beautiful each day as the season advances. 
Whatever you neglect the coming season, you should surely 
plant the Early Flowering Cosmos. Per package, 15 cents. 
Petunia. 
SELECTED SINGLE FRINGED 
MIXED. 
Few, if any, annuals 
are more popular and 
deserving of cultiva- 
tion than the Petunia, 
and above all the 
fringed varieties, which 
roduce a profusion of 
fine large flowers in 
great variety and of 
odd colorings, which, 
together with their 
deeply cut edges, pro- 
duce a gorgeous show, 
when grown in a mass 
or for a border. We 
have taken great pains 
in selecting a strain of 
Fringed Petunia, which, 
we are confident, will 
prove a pride in any 
garden, and more than 
please those who grow 
this most excellent 
strain of large-flower- 
ing Fringed Petunia. 
Per package, 25 cents. 
PETUNIA, SELECTED SINGLE FRINGED, 
Leaders. 
Aster. 
ELLIOTT’S SUPERB 
UNRIVALLED MIXTURE. 
In bringing our Mixture of Asters before the public, we place 
at the disposal of the amateur gardener our many years of ex- 
perience in testing the extensive list of varieties, and we include 
in this mixture both old and new sorts that we have found meri- 
torious, discarding the more undesirable varieties. The Aster 
is too well-known among all loyers of flowers to require any 
description. All growers will find it to contain all known shades 
and the desirable forms, early, mid-season and late flowering, 
of which there are an almost endless variety. This mixture will 
SUpPLY. a long felt want amongst amateurs and those who have 
only a limited space in which to grow them. No lover of this 
popular annual should fail to try our Superb Mixture. 
Per package, 15 cents. 
We beg leave to call your attention 
to the fact that these Three Leaders 
will more than compensate you for the 
trouble in planting; and as an induce- 
ment to take them all, will offer them, 
postpaid to any address, for 25 cents 
in stamps or silver.
