Grow Cosmos and Coreopsis, Twin Glories of the Autumn 109 



Coreopsis 



These long-lasting flowers are simply perfect, measuring 3 inches and over in di- 

 ameter, and are borne on stalks 15 to 18 inches in length. 



1993 El Dorado. Color, brilliant golden-yellow. This variety, although a hardy 

 perennial, will flower the same season from seed sown early; compact bushy 



plants, about 2 feet high, blooming abundantly during the summer and fall . . . Pkt. 10c. 



1994 Harvest Moon. One of the finest hardy garden plants grown. It flowers the 

 first season from seed sown early. Harvest 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. (See illustration.) Per 500 seeds, 50c. ; Pkt. 10c. 



New Double Coreopsis 



(Coreopsis Grandijlora Flore Pleno 



1993 This semi-double form of this hardy perennial is proving to be very popular 



and valuable for cutting and for the hardy border; color bright yellow. ((See 



illustration) . Pkt. 25c. 



Coreopsis "Mayfield Giant" 



1995 This very fine perennial, of Australian origin, is a considerable advance on any 

 strain yet introduced of this highly ornamental and very useful flower. It pro- 

 duces a taller and more vigorous plant than the type, with longer and firmer stems 

 and larger individual blooms, of which the ray petals are broader and form a more 

 perfect flower. The color is intense yellow. Both for the border and for cutting we 

 can strongly recommend this excellent new strain Pkt. 25c. 



Cosmos, Midsummer, Large Early Flowering 



This early-flowering strain begins blooming scatteringly in June, the quantity 

 increasing gradually until July, and from that time until frost the plants are a mass 

 of flowers. The flowers average 3 inches across; the plants are more dwarf than the 

 late-flowering Cosmos, forming compact bushes only 4 feet high. Annual.

 flower. ,

2012 Crested Pink Beauty. A soft and pleasing shade of pink Pkt. 15c. 



2013 Crested White Queen. Pure glistening White Pkt, 15c.

Cosmos, New Early Flowering Double Crested 



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 15 per cent will bloom true to type. (See illustration.)
