CENTAUREA IMPERIALIS sweI^ sultan 
These beautiful giant-flowering “Sultans” produce long-stemmed, 
exquisitely fringed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful effect and 
arc delightfully fragrant. The colors vary some having centers of a 
different color, as violet with white center, etc. For bouquets and vases, 
they are exceptionally beautiful. If cut scarcely opened they will last 
for ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering 
freely in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. 
They are of strong, bushy form, 2 to 3 feet high.

DOUBLE COSMOS 
These new hybrids form bushy plants 5 to 0 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—haying 
no st mens and consequently bear no pollen—so to produce seed must 
depend upon staminatc singles for polination. 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 white 
and pink, which we offer in mixture. Price, 25c. per pkt.

COSMOS 
THE GLORY OF THE 
AUTUMN GARDEN

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 G feet high are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.

The long-stemmed flowers are of immense size, frequently measuring 
5 inches across. The petals are broadly oval and overlap, forming a 
circular flower of perfect symmetry, having splendid substance and 
lasting qualities. Unsurpassed both for garden decoration and as cut 
flowers; height 6 to 7 feet.

MID-SUMMER COSMOS 
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 dwarfer than the late-flowering Cosmos, 
forming compact bushes only 4 feet high.
