Orange Flare Cosmos 
ORANGE FLARE 
A sensational color in Cosmos! 
Bright vivid orange flowers, very 
free blooming, 2 to 3 feet tall, extra 
early,—it has every characteristic 
that one could desire. Was a win¬ 
ner in the 1935 All American Flower 
Selections! Splendid for bouquets. 
Grows everywhere. 2960—Pkt., 15c; 
Ys oz., 25c. 
Cosmos, Extra Early Colossal 
COSMOS HHA 
One of our most popular annuals for tall 
borders and for cutting, producing thou¬ 
sands of artistic flowers for autumn decora¬ 
tion, when other flowers are scarce. 
The Autumn Giant sorts produce the larg¬ 
est dowers, but bloom late; for extreme 
northern parts, sow the extra-early flower¬ 
ing type. 
EXTRA EARLY, DOUBLE . 
CRESTED 
An extra early strain, with fine, large, 
full, double crests in the center, invaluable 
for short season sections. It easily reverts 
back to its single form, but a goodly per¬ 
centage of the seed will bear perfect, crested 
Cosmos.

ers, all mixed. Pkt., 35 seeds, 15c; Ys oz., 55c;
