 out, forming good-sized clumps. The foliage is beautifully striped with rose, 

 purple, green and cream color; exceedingly effective in the mi ed flower border.

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 dwarfer 

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

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 them- 

 selves to graceful arrangements. The plants, 5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical 

 pyramidal form.

 COSMOS 



2105 A very beautiful variety 

 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. .Pkt. 25c. 



CUSTOMER'S SELEC- 

 TION OF COSMOS— Any 

 three 10c. packets for 25c. 



DOURLE 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. Price, 25c per pkt
