COSMIDIUM 



1998 Orange Crown. Very handsome new annual, forming elegant, many-branched bushes 

 1J4 to 2 feet in height. The flower heads, 4 to 5 inches in circumference, 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. As the plants produce a 

 succession of bloom throughout the summer and the flowers last well in water, this will 

 be found very useful for cutting purposes Pkt. 10c. 



NEW DOUBLE COSMOS 



2000 These new hybrids form bushy plants 5 to 6 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 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 substance, both on the plants and as cut flowers. The colors 

 so far produced are crimson, white and pink, which we offer in mixture. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Pkt. 25c. 



MID-SUMMER COSMOS, Large Early-Flowering 



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

 flowering 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 jonlv 4 feet high.

NEW CRESTED COSMOS (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 



GIANT COSMOS 



THE GLORY OF THE AUTUMN GARDEN 



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, 5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.

LADY LENOX COSMOS 



The Highest Development in Cosmos 

 The long-stemmed flowers are of immense size, frequently measuring 5 inches across. The 

 petals are broadly oval and overlap, forming a circular flower ot perfect symmetry, having 

 splendid substance and lasting qualities. Unsurpassed both for garden decoration and as 

 cut flowers; height, 6 to 7 feet.

COREOPSIS 



1992 El Dorado. The long- 

 lasting flowers are sim- 

 ply perfect, measuring 3 

 inches and over in dia- 

 meter, and are borne on 

 stalks 15 to 18 inches in 

 length. Color, brilliant 

 golden - yellow. This 

 variety, although a 

 hardy perennial, will 

 flower the same season 

 from seed sown early; 

 compact bushy plants, 

 about 2 ft. high, bloom- 

 ing abundantly during 

 the summer and fall. 



Pkt. 10c. 



1994 Harvest Moon. One 

 of the finest hardy gar- 

 den plants grown, form- 

 ing large clumps 2 to 3 

 feet high, and increasing 

 in beauty, luxuriance 

 and floriferousness each 

 year, though it flowers 

 the first season from 

 seed sown early. It is 

 an improved variety of 

 the lanceolata grandi- 

 flora type, producing 

 immense, long-stemmed, 

 rich yellow flowers, 

 shaded with orange, 

 flowering in profusion 

 for a long period during 

 the summer; unequalled 

 for cutting; grows any- 

 where. Per 500 seeds,

BURBANK'S RAINBOW CORN 



1996 A highly decorative type of Corn. It grows about 5 feet 

 high and suckers out, forming good-sized clumps. The 

 foliage is beautifully striped with rose, purple, green and 

 cream color; exceedingly effective in the mixed flower 

 border. (See engraving.)
