narv Cosmos . JQ 



•J092 " Klondyke." A golden-vellow Cosmos- that 

 has the size of flower of the well-known while .nnd 

 pink sorts. The flowers are borne on long stems and 

 measure from 2i to 3.} inches across. In form they resemble the or- 

 din.Try Cosmos, but in color we know of nothing that compares in 

 lichness and depth of the golden hue. To get this variety in bloom 

 before frost in the States north of Virginia it should be grown in pots 

 or boxes, so that the roots are confined, thus throwing it into flower 10
