COSMOS 



CALIFORNIA GIANT COSMOS 



For fall blooming Cosmos has no 

 • uperior. The large bushy plants, 3 

 to 6 feet high, are completely covered 

 iu the late fall with bundreds of 

 beautiful ray flowers, pink, white 

 or red. Both flowers and foliag:e are 

 unsurpassed for decoration. This is 

 an improved strain grown for me 

 by a California specialist and will 

 produce largest flowers and choicest 

 colors. Not adapted to the extreme 

 North.

EARLY FLOWERING COSMOS 



There is nothing handsomer than the Cosmos, 

 but its late flowering has prevented its univer- 

 sal cultivation. Growers have been experiment- 

 ing, however, and now the offerings of early- 

 flowering varieties rival their fall sisters. I 

 call especial attention to my new, specially 

 early strain of Minnesota grown seed, which 

 all flower lovers will welcome. Suitable for 

 all sections. 



Early Minnesota Cosmos. A valuable 

 new strain of Minnesota-^rown seed. The 

 plants grow 3 to 4 feet high and will be cov- 

 ered for months with their large pink, daisy- 

 like flowers. It was in blossom here this year 

 as early as July 3, and was still blooming pro- 

 fusely Oct. 21, when cut off by frost. Con- 

 stant cutting makes no difference in the dec- 

 orative effect of the row. Pkt., 50 seeds, 7c. 



Early Dawn Cosmos. Flowers pure white, 

 with a tinge of rose at the center. Plants be- 

 gin to bloom about August 1. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5c, 



Early Flowering Cosmos, Good Mixed. 

 Pkt., .50 seeds, 5c.

COSMOS SPECIAL MIXED 



This mixture includes all the kinds described 

 on this page, and other fancy varieties. Pkt., 

 60 seeds, 5c; 2 pkts., 8c. 



WILD CUCUMBER 



This well-known climber has so many favor- 

 able qualities — easy of cultivation, rapid grow- 

 ing, dense foliage, graceful blossoms, self-sow- 

 ing — that we cannot do without it. Pkt., 20 

 seeds, 6c; oz., 25c. 



CYPRESS VINE 



A beautiful climber, always a favorite, with 

 delicate, feathery, dark green foliage, bearing 

 bright, velvety, star-shaped flowers in scarlet 

 or white. Pkt., 50 seeds, 4c; % oz., 10c.

HOW TO MAKE REMITTANCES. 



If just as convenient, please send money 

 order instead of stamps or private checks. 

 You may select extra seeds to the amount of 

 cost of order. It is difl5cult to dispose of 

 stamps in any quantity, and private checks 

 often cost ten cents for collection. It is 

 comparatively safe to send small amounts in 

 silver, providing you use dimes or quarters 

 and do not nut them loose in the envelope.
