Grand New Large Early-flowering Cosmos 
The old-fashioned Cosmos bloomed so late that Jack Frost came and destroyed the plants 
just when the buds were ready to open, but this trouble has been entirely overcome by the 
new Early-flowering race I offer. The seeds start in five days, and the plants begin to bloom 
in about three months, and continue to bloom freely throughout the season, when not allow¬ 
ed to form seeds. I need hardly tell you that Cosmos are among the most graceful, showy, 
and beautiful of garden flowers. They are not only showy in beds, but are charming as cut 
flowers for room or table decoration. Plants grow three feet high, branch freely, and become 
veritable little trees of rich bloom. The graceful form and rich beauty of the flowers of this 
splendid race of Cosmos are well shown in the above handsome wood-engraving. Colors: 
White, Pink, Purple, Crimson, separate or mixed. 50 seeds 5cts. See also page 33. Don’t fail 
to add one or more packets of this splendid C osmos to your order. __ 
New Giant Schizanthus 
Finest of all Schizanthus 
Several New Races of Schizanthus have late¬ 
ly been introduced, but the newest and finest 
of all are the Elegant Chislehurst Hybrids re¬ 
cently dissiminated by Vilmorin, of Paris, 
France. These hybrids are readily grown from 
seeds, and can be sown in a bed to stand three 
or four inches apart, or grown in four-inch pots, 
three plants in a pot, for room decoration. The 
flowers are orchid-like, displaying lovely rich 
colors and variegations, and their beauty can¬ 
not be described—the flowers must be seen to 
give an idea of their exquisite beauty. The 
plants branch freely, and the clusters of charm¬ 
ing flowers are produced in such abundance as to 
almost hide the pretty foliage. This is one of 
the good things of easy culture, and deserves a 
place in every collection. Be sure to add it in 
your seed list. 150 seeds 5c. See page 47. 
A Good Rare Edging.— A lovely flower-edging can be obtained by the use of Gamolepis Tagetes, a rare 
little plant recently found in South Africa. It grows about six inches high, branching freely, and the bright 
golden flowers, fragrant and beautiful, are borne in such profusion as to almost hide the charming lacinated 
foliage. Seeds germinate in ten days, and the plants started in the spring bloom until frost. 100 seeds 5cents. 
None Better. —Dear Mr. Park: Just a word of praise. I purchased fifty packets last spring and all of 
them germinated to perfection, and I assure you that in the future I shall purchase none other than yours. I 
have also recommended your seeds to all of my friends. Mr. K. Sheeble, Onondoga Co., Syracuse, N. Y.
