This novelty is the most brilliantly colored variety of the tall growing Clarkia 

 elttans class. The flowers are extremely double and when opening are of a glowing 

 salmony-orange. which changes, when in full bloom, to an intense orange-scarlet, a 

 rare, and beautiful color amongst annuals. This distinct and remarkably pretty vari- 

 ety, will be of great value for garden culture, cutting purposes or for pot culture.

COREOPSIS "Harvest Moon" 



One of the finest hardy garden plants grown, forming large clumps 2 to 3 feet 

 high, and increasing in beauty, luxuriance and fioriferousness each year; though it 

 flowers the first season from seed sown early. It is an improved variety of the 

 lanceolaia grandijlora type, producing immense, long-stemmed, rich yellow flowers, 

 shaded with orange, flowering in profusion for a long period during the summer; un- 

 equalled for cutting; grows anywhere Pkt. 10c.

 diameter, and are borne on stalks 15 to 18 inches in length. Color, brilliant golden-

 during the summer and fall Pkt. 10c. 



COSMIDIUM "Orange Crown"

 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 disk, a pleasing combination. As the plants produce a suc- 

 cession of bloom throughout the summer and the flowers last weU in water, this novelty

New Large Early' Flowering C^C^S^^CDS 



Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do not bloom until late 

 (n the season. This new early-flowering German strain begins bloom- 

 ing 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 dwarfer than the 

 late-flowering Cosmos offered above, forming compact bushes only 

 4 feet high. This new German large-flowering Cosmos is so superior 

 to the older early-flowering strains that we have discarded the latter.

NEW COSMOS "Crimson Ray' 



A Beautiful New Many' Retailed Type 



The flowers of this distinct novelty, while as large as those of other 

 Cosmos, yet show a new departure in form, number and shape of the petals. 

 The petals are narrow, fluted and separated in star-like form and are of a 

 most brilliant crimson color overlaid with a velvet sheen. The plants grow 

 four to five feet in height, are most profuse in bloom, and the flowers are so 

 striking and elegant that it will be acknowledged "one of the most artistic 

 plants" of recent introduction Pkt. 15c. 



Take it out in the Garden. It answers questions.
