 flowers are simply perfect, 

 measuring 3 inches and over 

 in diameter, and are borne 

 on stalks 15 to 18 inches in 

 length. Color, brilliant 

 golden-yellow. This va- 

 riety, although a hardy 

 perennial, will flower the

 abundantly during the 

 summer and fall.

 Harvest Moon. One of 

 the finest hardy garden 

 plants grown, forming large 

 clumps 2 to 3 feet high. 

 It flowers the first season 

 from seed sown early. Har- 

 vest Moon is an improved 

 variety of the lanceolata 

 grandiflora type, producing 

 immense, long stemmed rich 

 yellow flowers, shaded with 

 orange, and flowering in profusion 

 during the summer: unequalled for 

 cutting; grows anywhere.

Cosmos, New Crested 



Few flowers have undergone greater improvement within recent years than thi 

 Cosmos. This is due, perhaps, to the fact that they are in such great demand for cut 

 flowers. The New Crested Cosmos is a distinct type. The flowers are double-crested, 

 having double centers, with a row of guard petals around the base. By combining 

 the beautiful crested flowers with the long stiff stems clothed with graceful, lace-like 

 foliage, the result is a decorative garden and cut flower par excellence.

Cosmos 



New Early Flowering Double Crested 



We have now developed a new, perfect, and glorified Cosmos; an early-flowering. 



double type. It is of incomparable grace, beauty and refinement. The flowers are 



large, ranging from three to four inches across. The stamens of 



the old single Cosmos are entirely eliminated; in their place 



is a mass of graceful petals. The outer guard petals 



are much broader than the ordinary type. The 



effect is most charming, reminding one of a small 



Japanese Peony of rare grace and beauty. 



One of the most desirable characteristics of 



this new Cosmos is its early flowering habit, 



blooming from July to frost. As this is a 



development from the single Cosmos. 



some of the plants may produce single 



flowers, but our trials have proven 



that about 75 per cent will bloom 



true to type. (See illustration.)
