COCKSCOMB. 
The Cockscombs are tender annuals, require rich soil, will attain rich color and large 
size by repeated shifting; cut off side flowers and leave one head only to a plant. If cut 
before they fade the head may be preserved during the winter. 
Mixed Colors. Packet, 5 cents. 
CHINESE WOOLFLOWER. 
This new Cockscomb is one of the most magnificent garden annuals ever introduced. 
Plants grow two or three feet high, the bloom starting early with a central head, round 
and globular, which often reaches an immense size. Scores of branches are thrown out, 
each bearing a ball of scarlet wool, but not so large as the central one. None of the 
blooms fade in any way until hit by frost. 
Start seed if convenient under glass about four weeks before time to transplant to the 
garden. If the little plants remain too long in pots or seed beds, they will begin to set 
bloom, which is not desirable. Transplant to the garden as soon as danger from frost is 
passed. Per packet, 5 cents.
