COSMOS [hA] Every gardener delights in 

 these choice plants for late summer and 

 autumn flowering. They have feathery light 

 green foliage and are used to advanta::e in 

 clumps for screens or backgrounds. The flowers, 

 of a delicate texture with broad petals often over- 

 lapping and fluted, are poised terminally on long 

 graceful stems suitable for cutting. The plants do 

 well in any sunny spot, but bloom more profusely in 

 poor soil which discourages excessive root growth. 

 Early Double Crested [3 ft.] A high percentage of the 

 flowers have attractive, raised, central crests of small petals 

 which completely cover the discs.

 they are sure to flower before early autumn frosts.

Late Mammoth Single [5 ft.] Wherever length of season 

 permits, these varieties, which flower at least two weeks 

 later than the early kinds, are liked because of their height 

 and magnificent blooms.

CYNOGLOSSOM (Chinese Forget-me-not) [hA-2 ft.] Too few 

 people know this thrifty plant which is such an addition to a garden 

 border. The long graceful branches are well covered with blossoms 

 which resemble the Forget-me-not in form, but are larger. Tlieir 

 color is rich turquoise blue. If kept cut for bouquets the blooming 

 season is long. They are easy to grow.

DELPHINIUM [hP] One of the greatest charms of hardy Larkspurs 

 is in their shades of blue which range from soft rosy lavender to 

 violet and deepest indigo. The dwarfs are valuable in 

 the border while the magnificent tall varieties are stately 

 . and beautiful in front of a shrubbery background. Above 

 the deeply cut dark green leaves rise long floral spikes. 

 These are composed of blossoms shaped hke tiny 

 cornucopias. 





Cosmos, Early Double Crested 



The Foliage of Cosrnos is as Useful and Decorative as the Blossoms 



Dwarf Chinese [2 ft.] A short hardy type desirable for low 

 borders or even for bedding. It has the merit of reaching 

 its full development the first season from seed started early. 

 The plants are dainty in form with cosmos-hke foliage and 

 produce single spiu-red flowers in rather loose sprays. 

 Azure Fairy Charming soft sky blue. 

 Blue Butterfly Blossoms intense gentian-blue. 

 Each of the above: J/g oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Tall Hybrids [5 ft.] Handsome tall sorts adapted to back- 

 grounds in the hardy border. The long stalks are well 

 decorated with broad, deeply cut, bright green leaves and 

 carry long floral spikes. Plants grown from early sown seed 

 wiU flower late the first season, but reach their full develop- 

 ment the second year and thereafter. A fine succession of 

 spikes may be expected if they are kept cut as they fade. 



Belladonna A delightful shade of silvery blue. 



Bellamosum Rich, deep and intense blue. 



Each of the above: J^ oz. 70c; pkt. 15c

 shades of blue, rose, and pxu'ple }^ oz. 60c; pkt. 10c 



DAHLIA [tP-3 ft.] For specimen plants and for rich autumn 

 display these flowers can not be surpassed. The blossoms 

 are wonderfully perfect and symmetrical with long stems, 

 making them especially valuable for bouquets. While usu- 

 ally grown from tubers, robust plants and excellent blooms 

 may be produced the first year from seed started early in 

 boxes and planted out after danger of frost is past.
