§§§ J\ew Giant Early 
Flowering Cosmos. 
These new hybrids originated in California. 
They bloom from one to two months sooner 
than the ordinary kinds. 
These giant flowers are surpassingly beautiful, 
measuring 4% to 5 inches across. Some are shaped 
like single Camellias, but larger and more beauti¬ 
ful ; 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'bverlapping. Colors range from pure white 
through shades of pink and red. The latter are dark 
rich shades pf red, shades heretofore unknown in Cosmos. 
Some white ones are delicately flushed or flaked with 
pink or mauve, and yery beautiful flowers in pink and 
mauve have a dark red ring round 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 esthetic. The 
giant white are especially handsome, with very large, 
broad petals; flowers of great substance, almost as 
chaste and lovely as lilies. Packet, 200 seeds, all colors, 
8c.; 4 packets for 25c.; f| oz., 15c.
