MAMMOTH PERFECTION COSMOS. 
NEW MAMMOTH PERFECTION COSMOS. 
A new mammoth flowered strain of Cosmos, which can truly be called 
“The Glory of the Autumn Garden,’ blooming long after tender flowers have 
succumbed to frost. The flowers are double the size of the old large flower- 
ing Cosmos, measuring 12 to 15 inches in circumference; the petals are broad- 
er and overlapping, forming a perfectly round flower deeply ribbed and of 
splendid substance. For cutting for bouquets and vases this is one of 
the finest flowers grown, lasting in water for two weeks; the long stems and 
feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful arrangements. The plants grow 
about six feet high, of pyramidal form, producing one mass of feathery, dark 
green foliage, completely covered in season with its mammoth flowers of 
pearly white and pink, a display unequaled by any of our garden favorites. 
if grown in pots and taken indoors the latter part of September, will make 
good house plants and fiower all winter. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents, 
MIGNONETTE. Giant White Spiral. 
Grows two or three feet high, perfectly erect 
and spikes of bloom have been seen measuring ten 
inches. Its coloris pure snow white. The grand 
spikes of bloom can be seen for a long distance, 
and being so beautiful in form and color, much un- 
like anything else in cultivation, it attracts the at- 
tention of every one. Will produce twice as much 
bloom as any other variety. Seed can be sown in 
open ground in April or May, where it will grow 
rapidly and bloom profusely early in June. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
NEW DOUBLE PINK. Fireball. 
An exceedingly dwarf and compact growing # 
Pink, only growing ten to fifteen inches high, § 
the flowers perfectly double, and color a rich 
velvety blood red, accurately shown tn illustration 
on colored plate in my 1892 Catalogue. The plants 
are symmetrical in form, and begin to flower short- 
ly after seeds are up, and continue to bloom pro- 
fusely all summer and fall, only ceasing when 
overtaken by severe frost. Effective for garden 
bedding or pot culture, and as a cut flower stands 
unrivaled. No flower garden is complete without 
the China or Indian Pinks, and for the handsomest 
of all the different varieties you must plant the 
Fireball, without doubt the showiest of all. 
Packet, 10 cemts; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
NEW BRANCHING WHITE 
ASTER. 
A variety of Aster having pe- 
liar and very valuable character- 
istics. The plant is a strong grow- 
er and its tendency to form nu- 
merous branches is very marked. 
The plant continues to grow later 
in the season than any other vari- 
ety with which we are acquainted, 
and blooms correspondingly late, 
thus giving its crop of flowers in 
late autumn, a season when there 
is always ascarcity of bloom. The 
flowers are borne on very long 
A stems and are pure white, being 
four inches and more in diameter. 
The petals are broad, long, and 
many of them are more or less 
twisted and curled in such a man- 
ner as to give the blooms the ap- 
earance of large, loose and grace- 
ulchrysanthemums. Atadistance ~ 
the resemblance is so great that % 
nearly everyone would so consider fy. 
them when seen as cut flowers. All 
florists who have seen them the 
past season, greatly admire them, id 
and there is no question that they 
will quickly and permanently find
