 measuring 43^ to 5 inches across. Someare 

 shaped like single Camelias, but larger and more 

 beautiful ; some of the crimson ones could almost 

 be taken for single Dahlias ; white ones have plaited 

 petals, prettily fringed, resembling the California 

 Tree Poppy. The petals are plain in some flowers ; 

 in others pinked, toothed, or fringed, and beauti- 

 fully overlapping. Colors range from pure white 

 through shades of pink and red. The latter are dark 

 rich shades of red, shades heretofore unknown in

 flecked with pink or mauve, and very beautiful 

 flowers in pink and mauve have a dark red ring 

 n,round the eye. The daintiest, white, pink, and 

 flushed, have laciniated petals, fringed to the center 

 of the flower, and resemble Marguerites, but are

Note this Cosmos was offered for sale last year for the 

 first time. The originator, who is rather reliable, stated 

 that it began to bloom in May. Tests, the past summer, 

 does not bear this statement" out. It is not so early by 

 over 3 months as was claimed for it. Still the size and 

 color of the flowers are most beautifuL
