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 advantage in clumps for screens or backgrounds. The 

 flowers, of a delicate texture with broad petals often overlapping 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.

Early Mammoth Single [4 ft.] A type with fine single blooms, particu- 

 larly adapted to Northern latitudes because 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. Their color is rich 

 turquoise blue. If kept cut for bouquets the blooming season is long. 

 They are easy to grow.

CYPRESS VINE (Ipomoea Quamoclit) [hA-C-8 ft.] This dainty vine 

 is a rapid-growing climber with soft deep green feathery foliage. The 

 flowers are slender little trumpets with star-shaped rims. Due to its 

 twining habit it will readily climb a stretched cord or light trellis.

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 varie- 

 ties 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 like tiny cornucopias. 



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-like foliage and 

 produce single spurred flowers in rather loose sprays. 



Azure Fairy Charming soft sky blue. 

 Blue Butterfly Blossoms intense gentian-blue. 

 Each of the above: J^ 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 

 will 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 dehghtful shade of silvery blue. 

 Bellamosum Rich, deep and intense blue. 



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