ORANGE FLARE 
COSMOS 
Sensation. Award of Merit, 1936 All America 
Selections. The mammoth size of this beauti- 
ful new Cosmos has secured for it a most out' 
standing position in the garden world. The 
flowers 4 to 5 in. in diameter, with broad, 
heavily fluted petals, are unusually large at all 
times, but giant exhibition blooms may be had 
by disbudding. The plants are 4 ft. tall with 
a rather heavy growth of foliage and bloom 
freely in about 10 weeks from seeding. Comes 
in white and shades of rose and pink. 
Pkts. 3 5c and 15c 
Extra Early Double Crested. This strain of 
Cosmos is a great favorite with florists. Beau-

often in contrast with the guard petals. This 
strain unequalled. Mixed. Pkts. 25c and 15c 
Early Klondyke—Orange Flare. A new, 
bright, vivid orange Cosmos, very early and

Palmeri. An easily grown annual that is a 
lovely border or rock garden subject. It

which blend beautifully with the dull green 
foliage which turns to a glorious shade of 
autumn brown in eary fall. Pkt. 10c

sprays of double flowering, almond-like blos¬ 
soms, is of easy cultivation and does well in 
sun or shade where summers do not get too 
hot. Comes in shades of pink, salmon, rose, 
carmine, mauve, purple and white; 2 or 2'/2 ft.

DIANTHUS 
Sweet Wivelsfields. The most popular Dian- 
thus introduced in recent years, the result of 
a cross between Dianthus Allwoodii and Di- 
anthus Barbatus. Bears sweet-scented single 
flowers, resembling Sweet Williams, but larger 
and of a much wider range of brilliant and 
unusual colors and markings. Blooms freely 
in clusters well above the foliage, almost con¬ 
tinuously from June until frost. For early bloom 
plant in garden in July of preceding year, or 
indoors in February. Reselected. 
Pkts. 25c and 10c 
Laciniatus Splendens. This sterling Dianthus 
novelty of German origin bears generous quan¬ 
tities of its extra large, sweet scented, single 
flowers of brilliant crimson, with boldly con¬ 
trasted, glistening white eye, on neat, com¬ 
pact plants. Splendens has but few equals as 
an edging plant. Pkt. 10c 
DIMORPHOTHECA 
(South African Daisy) 
Aurantica Hybrids. Was instantly popular 
upon introduction. Innumerable single daisy- 
like flowers, with long narrow petals, which 
curve upward, are held erect on thin, wiry 
stems (12 to 15 in. high) from foliage which 
remains nestled to the ground. These Hybrids 
are a blaze of bloom in shades of yellow, 
orange, salmon, rose and white. One of our 
quickest annuals to bloom. Good for rock 
gardens, edgings and cuttings. Pkts. 25c and 10c

rieties, in a remarkable color range of soft
