Boddington's Flower-Seed Novelties and Specialties 



1908 and 1909 



While every year we look upon the flower-seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less scepticism, we must not 

 overlook the fact that all the really good things of today were novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or 

 perhaps more suspicion than the novelties of today. 



There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor to select only those we know some- 

 thing about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator. The descriptions are those of 

 the introducers. You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions. 



The New Gigantic Orchid-Flowering Cosmos 



(HA.) 



LADY LENOX 



This Gigantic Cosmos is the forerunner of an 

 entirely new race of Cosmos. It is of extraordi- 

 nary size and beauty. Visitors to the floral exhi- 

 bitions last autumn were enraptured with its size 

 and magnificent color. 



Size of flower, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, 

 which is about three times larger than the ordi- 

 nary Cosmos. Color a delightful shell-pink, light- 

 ing up beautifully at night. Form of flower, oval 

 petals of splendid substance, forming a perfectly 

 circular flower which, when cut, lasts an un- 

 usual length of time in water. Habit of plant, 

 strong and vigorous, growinjj 6 to 7 feet high. 

 Flowers may be cut with any length of stem up 

 to 5 feet. 



Awarded a first-class Certificate of Merit at

 exhibitions during the fall of 1907.
