l''or cutting this is one of the linest flowers grown. The long stems and 
feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful arrangements. The |>lants, 
5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form. (See aU.)

COSMOS 
Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do not bloom until late in 
the season. This new early-flowering German strain begins blooming 
scatteringly in June, the quantity increasing gradually until July and from 
that time until frost the plants are a mass oi flowers. The flowers average 
3 inches across; the plants arc dwarfer than the late-flowering Cosmos 
offered below, forming compact bushes only 4 feet high. This new 
German large-flowering Cosmos is so superior to the older early- 
flowering strains that we have discarded the latter.

Victoria or Margined. Very large flowers with fringed and fluted petals, the edges 
being distinguished by coloring differing from that of the body of the flower, as white 
with red or purple edge, rose with scarlet edge, crimson with garnet or violet edge, 
etc. The color of the eye or base of the flower always corresponds with the mar¬ 
ginal color.Fkt. 30c. 
NEW CYCLAMEN "Mrs. Buckstone” 
This new variety produces the largest flowers of all Cyclamens, averaging If*’ 
ches and if well grown, 3 inches across. The petals are beautifully crimped, though 
distinct from the Butterfly type; the coloring is a lovely tint of salmon. Even though 
the flowers are so large, they are very freely produced and the plants are good grow¬ 
ers. “Mrs. Buckstone” in fact, is the largest and most beautiful of all Cyclamens and 
was honored with an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England.

CYPRESS VINE OR QUAMOCLIT 
These beautiful twining annual climbers are not as much grown as they deserve. 
Seed started in pots early in the house or hot bed, and the seedlings set out in the 
garden after danger from frost, will make plants 20 feet high and be completely covered 
for 3 months or more with beautiful star-shaped tubular flowers borne in clusters 
that contrast effectively against the feathery Fern-like, bright green foliage. Sown in 
the open ground they will of course commence flowering later. In the latter event the 
hard shelled seeds should be soaked in hot water.
