Cosmos, Early Orange Flare 
Gaillardia, The Dazzler 
Cosmos, Early Orange Flare 
One of the most outstanding novelties introduced this season. 
Blooms in four months from sowing. Recommended highly for cut- 
flowers, and also for early sowing to produce potted plants for retail 
store trade. The color is the same vivid orange of the ordinary 
Klondyke, but the attractive light green foliage is much less abundant, 
giving a plant which is a mass of color, with long, wiry stems, well 
adapted for cutting. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., l / 4 oz. 75 cts., oz. $2.50.

height of 5 feet.

is very symmetrical, and has long trusses of exceptionally large,
