New Giant Early Flowering 
Cnsmns These new hybrids originated in 
^USiriUS. California. They bloom from 
one to two months sooner than the ordinary 
kinds. 
These giant flowers are surpassingly beauti¬ 
ful, measuring 414 to 5 inches across. Some 
are shaped like single Camellias,but larger and 
more beautiiul ; some of the crimson ones could 
almost be taken for single Dahlias ; white ones 
have plaited petals, prettily fringed. The petals 
are plain in some flowers; in others pinked, 
toothed, or fringed, and beautifully overlap¬ 
ping. Colors range from pure white through 
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 around the eye. The daintiest, 
white, pink, and flushed, have laciniated petals, 
fringed to the center of the flower, and resemble 
Marguerites, but are more beautiful and es¬ 
thetic. The giant white are especially hand¬ 
some, with very large, broad petals ; flowers of 
great substance, almost as chaste and lovely as 
lilies. Packet, 100 seeds, all colors, 8c. ;
