/ qngs , “Towers ol Beauty” HOLLYHOCKS 
You gain a year by planting 1 roots this 
spring 1 instead of seed. Hollyhocks bloom 
second year from seed, you know. 
It’s a g*ood idea to plant both, roots and seed. 
The roots frequently live over after blooming 
one season, but not always. The seed you sow 
this year will provide a new supply of bloom¬ 
ing size roots for next summer. Sow seed 
from April to July. Plant roots early in 
spring. April best time. See prices below.

New Cosmos, “Klondyke 
Orange Flare” 
Grand Champion Gold Medal Winner in All 
America Competitions. Following is produc¬ 
er’s description: 
Now at last we may grow the lovely orange 
colored Cosmos and be assured of having 
flowers before frost. In most parts of the 
country this brilliant hued flower is practi¬ 
cally unknown because of its late flowering 
habit. Realizing its beauty, however, we have 
bent our efforts toward producing an early 
flowering strain which may be enjoyed by all. 
We have accomplished this purpose with 
Orange Flare, a strain which is in full bloom 
less than five months from sowing. The color 
is the same vivid orange of the ordinary 
Klondyke, with attractive light green foliage.
