CENTAUREA IMPERIALIS s fc^S 



These beautiful giant-flowering "Sultans" produce long-stemmed, 

 exquisitely fringed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful effect and 

 arc delightfully fragrant. The colors vary some having centers of a 

 different color, as violet with white center, etc. For bouquets and vases, 

 they are exceptionally beautiful. If cut scarcely opened they will last 

 for ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering 

 freely in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. 

 They are of strong, bushy form, 2 to 3 feet high.

DOUBLE COSMOS 



These new hybrids form bushy plants 5 to G feet high and flower 

 profusely during the autumn months. Only 40 to 50 per cent, of the 

 plants will bear double flowers, the balance producing large single 

 blossoms, the reason being that the double flowers are pistillate — having 

 no st mens and consequently bear no pollen — so to produce seed must 

 depend upon staminate singles for polination. The progeny therefore 

 comes about half doubles and half singles. Double Cosmos flowers 

 aside from their novelty and beauty are of lasting substance, both on 

 the plants and as cut flowers. The colors so far produced are white 

 and pink, which we offer in mixture. Price, 25c per pkt. 



GIANT COSMOS ^»Tga%£S e 



Favorite autumn-flowering annual; the flowers are often 4 inches 

 across. The petals are broad and overlapping, and of splendid substance. 

 For cutting this is one of the finest flowers grown. The long stems and 

 feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful arrangements. The plants, 

 6 to 6 feet hi;;h are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.

MID-SUMMER COSMOS 



LARGE EARLY- 

 FLOWERING 



Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do not bloom until late in the 

 season. This early-flowering strain begins blooming scatteringlv in 

 June, the quantity increasing gradually until July, and from that time 

 until frost the plants are a mass of flowers. The flowers average 3 

 inches across; the plants are dwarfer than the late-flowering Cosmos, 

 forming compact bushes only 4 feet high.
