(osmos "Dawn'* 



Commences Bloom- 

 ing in July and con- 

 tinues till frost. 





No. 934. 



The Cosmos is now one of our 

 most popular flowers, but frequently, 

 on account of its coming into bloom 

 so late, the plants are destroyed by 

 frost without having- perfected a soli- 

 tary flower. This new variety comes 

 into full flower in July, and contin- 

 ues a nia-is of bloom until cut down 

 by severe frost. This feature alone 

 is sntficient to stamp it as a novelty 

 oftlielirst class, and will make their 

 successful cultivation possible in the 

 most Northerly States and Canada; 

 but added to this, it is of dwarf, 

 compact growth, growing oidy 43-2 

 feet high, while the old variety grow- 

 ing alongside towers up nearly 7 

 feet, a victim to the first strong wind. 

 The flowers are fully as large as in 

 the best selections of the old type, the 

 color is a beautiful white, relieved by 

 a delicate tint of rose at the base of 

 the petals, altogether the finest 

 novelty introduced in many years. Price, lOe. per pkt ; 3 pkts., 2.5c. 



BUDBECKIA EIOOLOl; Sf l-i;i: B.4. 





HKr.IOPSIS PITCHEBlAN.i. I'kl., lUC. 



Heliopsis Pitcheriana 



No. 1516. This new hardy perennial is a perfect beauty, 

 as the photograph alongside shows. Itis a perpetual bloom- 

 er, with flowers about 2 inches in diameter. Of a beautiful 

 deep golden color, with deeper golden centre. They are of 

 thick texture, with long stems, and keep fresh for a long 

 time after cutting, and for this reason are far superior to 

 Coreopsis Lanceolata, or to any of the Kiirtbeckias. 

 The plants grow 2 to 3 feet in height, with a spread of 3 to 4 

 feet. No collection of hardy plants should be without this 

 bright, free-blooming perennial. Price, 10c. per pkt. 



New Dwarf Marigold 



GOLD RING" 



No. 1939. This charming variety is a fine match to the 

 old " Legion of Honor " in growth, height and tree flower- 

 ing. In color it is a d.ark, velvety brown, each petal grace- 

 fully surrounded with a distinct gold ring. The compact, 

 bushy plant blooms with a richness and constancy that is 

 surprising. Pkt., 10c. ; 3 pkts., 25c.
