DOUBLE-FLOWERING COSMOS done 
Some years since a few individual plants of late-flowering Cosmos showed 
evidence of producing double flowers, but it has taken a great deal of care and 
patience to perfect the strain now offered. The flowers vary considerably in 
their degree of doubleness, as shown in our illustration, some being absolutely 
double, while others have a frill or collar sur- 
rounding the double disc, and while we think 
this is the most artistic, they are beautiful in 
either form and of high value for cutting and 
garden decoration 
A strain of the early blooming Cosmos with 
double flowers has also been developed and we offer { 
both types. The late-flowering variety may be ex- ‘XS 
pected to produce the largest percentage of doubles | 
and the finest blooms, but for localities north of 
Philadelphia, the early flowering type is recom- \ 
mended. The plants have somewhat heavier, less hae: 
cut foliage than the regular single-flowering type, so a 
that the fact that they will produce double flowers ~~ 
can be determined by the foliage when the seedlings 
are quite small.

or borders, but highly interesting and valuable for cutting, as they can be dried, and retain 
their bright color for weeks. We offer two colors: 
1865 Crimson. Very rich color.
