a nation-wide reputation for her Cosmos.

inches in diameter. The petals are large 
and over-lapping, some being delicately 
waved at the edges, others very deep with 
flaring edges; in some the contrast between 
the orange and yellow is very marked, < while 
in others the orange blends almost imper¬ 
ceptibly into the yellow.” Pkt., 50 seeds,
