Klondyke, Orange Flare. See illustration in color

orange-colored Cosmos and be assured of hav¬ 
ing flowers before frost. I n most parts of the 
country this brilliant-hued flower is practically 
unknown because of its late-flowering habit. 
Realizing its beauty, however, efforts have been 
made toward producing an early-flowering 
strain which may be enjoyed by all. This has 
been accomplished in 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. Pkt. 25 cts.

tions to this family is the sterling novelty 
Laciniatus splendens, a variety which, in our 
opinion, is the most striking Dianthus we have 
ever offered. The flowers are very large—over

formed flowers have broad, overlapping petals 
symmetrically arranged in almost perfect 
camellia form, and of a soft clear shade of moon¬ 
light-yellow comparable to no other flower in the

an immense size, almost 3 inches across, much 
larger than any Nasturtium ever known. The 
sweet fragrance is more pronounced, and the 
double flowers more uniformly well formed. 
The foliage is the same lush green characteristic 
of Golden Gleam. Pkt. 25 cts.

ZINNIA, FANTASY, Mixed. New Zinnias are 
always welcomed by home gardeners and florists 
alike. While the giant-flowered varieties are still 
popular, the trend of late years has been toward 
the smaller flowered, more graceful strains. This 
new Fantasy Mixture meets this demand in all 
details. The rounded flowers are composed of a 
mass of shaggy, ray-like petals which give a 
delicate and refined appearance to the medium¬ 
sized, double flowers, large enough to satisfy the 
desire for mass of color, yet small enough to lend 
themselves gracefully to flower arrangement. The 
color-range includes the brightest shades of reds 
and orange, as well as the popular pastel pinks 
and cream. See illustration in color on front cover. 
Pkt. 25 cts.
