NEW GIANT EARLY FLOWERING COSMOS. 



These new hybrids originated in California. They 

 bloom from oiie to two months sooner than the 

 ordinary kinds. 



These giant flowers are surpassingly beautiful, 

 measuring 4,^^ to 5 inches across. Some are 

 shaped like snigle Camelias, but larger and more 

 l)eautiful; some of the crimson ones could almost 

 be taken for single Dahlias ; white ones have plaited 

 jietals, ]>rettily fringed, resembling the California 

 Ti-ee Poppy. The petals are plain in some flowers; 

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

 fully overlapping. Colors range from pure white 

 1 1 1 nkigh shades of pink and red. The latter are dark 

 rich shades of red, shades heretofore unknown in 

 Cosmos. Some white ones are delicately flushed or 

 flecked with pink or mauve, and very beautiful 

 flowers in pink and mauve have a dark red ring 

 ;^,round the eye. The daintiest, while, pink, and 

 flushed, have laciniated petals, fringed to the center 

 <if the flower, and resemble Marguerites, but are 

 more beautiful and esthetic. The giant white are 

 especially handsome, with very large, broad petals ; 

 flowers of great substance, almost as chaste and 

 lovely as lilies. Packet, 100 seeds, all colors, 8c.; 

 4 packets for 25c.; % oz., 15c.

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 Mav. 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.
