DOUBLE EARLY-FLOWERING 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
1945 A new race of the Fall-flowering Chrysanthemum, which perfect their 
blooms in the open ground before frost. Easily grown from seed which 
may be expected to produce at least 75 per cent. of double-flowering 
plants in a large range of colors; quite hardy if given slight protection 
and grown in a well-drained position. 25 cts. per pkt. 
Extra Early-flowering Colossal Cosmos 
It is more than twenty years ago that we introduced the first early-flower- 
ing Cosmos; since then, by careful selection, the size and quality of the flower 
has been so greatly improved that we are now able to offer this strain which 
produces flowers rarely less than 33 inches and frequently 43 inches across, and 
which come into bloom within 60 days from time of sowing. We offer 2s under:

New Dousig-FLOWERING Cosmos 
NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERING COSMOS 
Some years since a few individual plants of 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, some being absolutely double, while others, like 
those shown in our illustration, have a frill or collar surrounding the dou- 
ble 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 dou- 
ble flowers can be determined when the seedlings are quite small. 
2081 Double Crimson. Rich rosy-crimson. 20 cts. per pkt. 
2082 Double Pink. A very pretty rosy-pink. 20 cts. per pkt. 
2084 Double White. Pure glistening white. 20 cts. per pkt. 
A packet of each color for 50 cts. 
DREER’S GOLD MEDAL 
HYBRID DELPHINIUMS (Hardy Larkspur) 
2240 This is one of our most important specialties, and is unquestionably 
the finest strain of mixed hybrids ever offered. The original stock 
came from England, and consisted of the best-named varieties. The 
plants are of strong, vigorous habit, with large flowers on spikes two 
feet and over long, the majority running in the lighter shades of blue. 
15 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per } oz.
