DOUBLE-FLOWERING COSMOS 



Some years since a few individual plants of late-flowering Cosmos 

 showed evidence of producing double flowers, but it has taken a great 

 deal of care and patience to perfect the strain now offered. The 

 flowers vary considerably in their degree of doubleness, as shown in 

 our illustration, some being absolutely double, 



while others have a frill or coUar surrounding _, '-^ — ■" 



the double disc, and while we think this r 



is the most artistic, they are beautiful in either 

 form of high value for cutting and garden / . 

 decoration. ; 



A strain of the early blooming Cosmos with 

 double flowers has also been developed and we 

 offer both types. Tne late-flowering variety I 



may be expected to produce the largest percent- ^ 



age of doubles and the finest blooms, but for 

 localities north of Philadelphia, the early flower- ^ - 

 ing type is recommended. The plants have >-*^ \ 



somewhat heavier, less cut foliage than the "--" 



regular single-flowering type, so that the fact 

 that they wUl produce double flowers can be ', 



determined by the foliage when the seedlings ^- 



are quite small. 



Early Double Cosmos 



This new type is sure to be appreciated, flowering from ^ 

 July or August to the end of the season. per pkt,

New Double-flowering Coreopsis 



Coreopsis Lanceolata Grandiflora Fl. PI. 



2072 Coreopsis Lanceolata has for a long time been a gem in the 

 perennial border and one never grows tired of the masses of 

 golden yellow blooms which it produces, which are decora- 

 tive in the garden and invaluable as cut flowers. This 

 new double and semi-double form is just as easy to grow 

 and the extra petalage adds a further charm to the flower.
