COSMIDIUM 



1998 Orange Crown. 'Very handsome annual, forming elegant, manj'-branched 

 bushes 1}2 to 2 feet in height. The flower heads, 4 to 5 inches in circum- 

 ference, are carried on long stems well above the foliage. The flowers are 

 golden-yellow, with a broad circle of a rich orange around the disc; a 

 pleasing combination. The plants produce a succession of bloom through- 

 out the summer Pkt. 10c, 



COSMOS, NEW DOUBLE 



2000 These new hybrids form bushy plants 5 to 6 feet high, and flower pro- 

 fusely during the autumn mouths. 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 stamens 

 and consequently bear no pollen — so to produce seed must depend upon 

 staminate singles for pollination. The progeny, therefore, comes about 

 half doubles and half singles. Double Cosmos flowers, aside from their 

 novelty and beauty, are of lasting substanc", both on the plants and as 

 cut flowers. The colors so far produced are crimson, white and pink, 

 which we offer in mixture. {See engraving.) Pkt. 25c. 



COSMOS, NEW CRESTED (Anemone-Flowered) 



2015 Crested or Anemone-Flowered Cosmos are very beautiful varieties of 

 recent introduction. The flowers are double-crested, having double 

 centers, with a row of guard petals around the base, which make them 

 very effective. The colors are pink, crimson and white, offered in mixture. ■ 

 {See engraving.) Pkt. 25c. 



COSMOS, MID-SUMMER Large Early-Flowering 



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

 This early-flow-ering strain begins blooming scatteringly 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 more dwarf 

 than the late-flowering Cosmos, forming compact bushes onlv 4 feet high.

COSMOS, GIANT The Glory of the Autumn Garden 



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

 petals are broad and over'apping and of splendid substance. For cutting this
