NEW LAKGE EAKLY-FLOWEPJNG 



••• COSMOS. /. 



Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do not bloom 

 until late in the season. This new early-flowering German 

 strain begins blooming scatteringly in June, the quantity 

 increasing gradually until July and from that time un- 

 til frost the plants are a mass of flowers. The flowers 

 average 3 inches across ; the plants are dwarfer than the 

 late-flowering Cosmos offered below, forming compact 

 bushes only 4 feet high. This new German large-flower- 

 ing Cosmos is so superior to the older early-flowering 

 strains that we have discarded the latter.

GIANT COSMOS. 



THE GLORY OF THE AUTUMN GARDEN. 



These are the latest developments in this favorite autumn-flowering annual; 

 the flowers are often 4 to 5 inches across. The petals are broad and overlap- 

 ping, and of splendid substance. For cutting this is one of the finest flowers 

 grown. The long stems and feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful 

 arrangements. The plants, 5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.

"I purchased some GIANT COSMOS seed of you last spring, and in the fall 

 had some that had grown nine feet tall and some of the flowers measured four 

 inches across. They were the finest I ever saw. " 



Mrs. HORACE GILBERT, Winchester, Ky. 



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 floriferousness each year, though it flowers the 



first season from seed sown early. It is an 

 improved variety of the lanceolata grandi- 

 flora type, producing immense, long-stemmed, 

 rich yellow flowers, shaded with orange, 

 flowering in profusion for a long period during 

 the summer; unequaled for cutting; grows 

 anywhere Pkt. 10c 



COREOPSIS 



"EL DORADO." 



The long-lasting 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 variety, 

 although a hardy biennial, will flower the 

 same season from seed sown early; compact, 

 bushy plants — about 2 feet high — blooming 

 abundantly during the summer and fall.

COSMIDIUM 



ORANGE CROWN. 



Very handsome new annual, forming elepant, 



many -branched bushes of IK to 2 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 succession of bloom throughout the summer and the flowers last well 



in water, this novelty will be very useful for cutting purposes. Pkt. 20c. 



PERSIAN CYCLAMEN. 



Most beautiful winter and spring flowering plants for the window and green- 

 house. Not only are the flowers of striking beauty, but the foliage is also highly 

 ornamental. 



Henderson's Giant Persian Cyclamen. A superior strain with flowers of largest 

 size and perfect form, displayed well above the handsome foliage; the colors 

 are all brilliant', including crimson, rose-pink, white, dark blood-red, spotted, 

 eyed, etc. Giant Mixed Colors Pkt. 20c 



Victoria. Very large flowers with fringed and fluted edges, the edges being 

 further distinguished by coloring differing from that of the body of the 

 flower, as white with red or purple edge, rose with scarlet edge, crimson 

 with garnet or violet edge, etc. The color of the eye or base of the flower 

 always corresponds with the marginal color Pkt . 25c 



Double, Large- flowering Cyclamen. The flowers have usually 8 to 10 petals, 

 often 12 to 15, which are more spreading than in single varieties. There is 

 the same range of colors, crimson, pink, white, spotted, etc. Double Mixed 

 Colors Pkt . 35c
