NEW GIANT EARLY FLOWERING COSMOS., 
NEW ©IANT EARLY FLOWERING COSMOS. 
These new hybrids originated 
in California. They bloom from 
one to two months sooner 
than the ordinary kinds. 
These giant flowers are sur¬ 
passingly beautiful, measuring 
4)4 to 5 inches across. 
Some are shaped like single 
Camelias, but larger and more 
beautiful; some of the crimson 
ones could almost be taken for 
single Dahlias; white ones have 
plaited petals, prettily fringed, 
resembling the California Tree 
Poppy. The petals are plain in 
some flowers; in others pinked, 
toothed, or fringed, and beauti¬ 
fully overlapping. Colors range 
from pure whitethrougli shades 
of pink and red. The latter are 
dark rich shades of red, shades 
heretofore unknown in Cosmos. 
Some white ones are delicately 
flushed or flecked with pink or 
mauve, and very beautiful flow¬ 
ers in pink and mauve have a 
dark red ring around the eye. 
The daintiest, white, pink, and 
flushed, have laciniated petals, 
fringed to the center ot the 
flower, and resemble Margue¬ 
rites, but are more beautiful 
and esthetic. The giant white 
are especially handsome, with 
very large, broad petals ; flow¬ 
ers of great substance, almost 
as chaste and lovely as lilies.
