COSMIDIUM 
1998 Orange Crown. Very handsome new annual, forming elegant, many-branched bushes 
1/2 to “ tcet in height. The flower heads, 4 to 5 inches in circumference, are carried 
on long stems well above the foliage. The flowers are golden-yellow, with a broad circle 
of a rich orange around the disc; a pleasing combination. As the plants produce a 
succession of bloom throughout the summer and the flowers last well in water, this will 
be found very useful for cutting purposes. Pkt. 10c. 
NEW DOUBLE COSMOS 
2000 These new hybrids form bushy plants 5 to 6 feet high, and flower profusely during the 
autumn months. Only 40 to 50 per cent of the plants will bear double flowers, the 
balance producing large single blossoms, the reason being that the double flowers are 
pistillate—having .no stamens and consequently bear no pollen—so to produce seed 
must depend upon staminate. singles for pollination. The progeny, therefore, comes 
about half doubles and half singles. Double Cosmos flowers, aside from their novelty 
and beauty, are of lasting substance, both on the plants and as cut flowers. The colors 
so far produced are crimson, white and pink, which we offer in mixture. (See engrav-

MID-SUMMER COSMOS, Large Early-Flowering 
Unfortunately large-flowering Cosmos do not bloom until late in the season. This early- 
flowering strain begins blooming scatteringly in June, the quantity increasing gradually 
until July, and from that time until frost the plants are a mass of flowers. The flowers average 
3 inches across; the plants are more dwarf than the late-flowering Cosmos, forming compact 
bushes;only 4 feet high.

GIANT COSMOS 
THE GLORY OF THE AUTUMN GARDEN 
Favorite autumn-flowering annual; the flowers are often 4 inches across. The petals are 
broad and overlapping, and of splendid substance. For cutting this is one of the finest flowers 
grown. The long stems and feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful arrangements. The 
plants, 5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.

- lasting flowers are sirn- 
ply perfect, measuring 3 
inches and over in dia¬ 
meter, and are borne on 
stalks 15 to 18 inches in 
length. Color, brilliant

1994 Harvest Moon. One 
of the finest hardy gar¬ 
den plants grown, form¬ 
ing large clumps 2 to 3 
feet high, and increasing 
in beauty, luxuriance 
and floriferousness each 
year, though it flowers 
the first season from 
seed sown early. It is 
an improved variety of 
the lanceolata grandi- 
flora type, producing 
immense, long-stemmed, 
rich yellow flowers, 
shaded with orange, 
flowering in profusion 
for a long period during 
the summer; unequalled 
for cutting; grows any¬ 
where. Per 500 seeds,

high and suckers out, forming good-sized dumps. The 
foliage is beautifully striped with rose, purple, green and
