NEW DOUELE-FLOWERING COSMOS. 
Some years since a few individual plants of Cosmos showed evidence ye 
of producing double flowers, but it has taken a great deal of care and "Si 
patience to perfect the strain now offered. The flowers vary consider- 
ably in their degree of doubleness, some being absolutely double, while 
others, like those shown in our illustration, have a frill or collar sur- 
rounding the double disc., and while we think this is the most artistic, 
they are beautiful in either form. The plants have somewhat heavier, 
less cut foliage than the regular single flowering type, so that the fact 
that they will produce double flowers can be determined when the seed- 
lings are quite small. We offer two colors, viz: 
2101 Double Pink. A very pretty rosy-pink, 25 cts. per pkt. 
2102 Double White. Pure glistening white. 25 cts. per pkt. 
A packet of each color for 40 cts.
