Double -flowering Cosmos 



It has taken a great deal of care and patience to perfect this strain. The 

 flowers vary considerably in their degree of doubleness, some being absolutely 

 double, while others have a frill or collar surrounding the double disc, and 

 while we think this is the most artistic, they are beautiful in either form, of 

 high value for cutting and garden decoration. We offer both the Early and 

 Late flowering strain, for points north of Philadelphia, the early flowering 

 is best.

Early Flowering Double Cosmos 



Giant Shirley Foxgloves (Digitalis) 



2361 This magnificent strain raised by the late Rev. W. Wilks, to whom we are 

 also indebted for the Shirley Poppies, is unquestionably the greatest im- 

 provement ever made in Foxgloves. The very vigorous plants attain a 

 height of 5 to 7 feet, with spikes of bloom 4 feet in length, closely set with 

 flowers of unusual size, ranging in color from the purest white to dark rose, 

 handsomely spotted and blotched with crimson, maroon and chocolate. 

 This is certain to supersede all other strains of Foxgloves. Seed sown this 

 spring will produce plants that will make a glorious show next season. 

 15 cts. per pkt.
