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

COREOPSIS “Harvest Moon/' 
One of the finest hardy garden plants grown, forming 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; unequaled for cutting; grows 
anywhere. Pkt. 10c. 
COREOPSIS 
"EL DORADO." 
The long-lasting flowers are simply perfect, 
measuring 3 inches and over in diameter, and 
are borne on stalks 15 to 18 inches in length. 
Color, brilliant golden-yellow. This variety, 
although a hardy biennial, will flower the 
same season from seed sown early; compact, 
bushy plants — about 2 feet high—blooming 
abundantly during the summer and fall.

COSMID1UM 
ORANGE CROWN. 
Very handsome new annual, forming elegant, 
many-branched bushes of lH to 2 feet 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 disk, a pleasing combination. As the plants produce 
a succession of bloom throughout the summer and the flowers last well 
in water, this novelty will be very useful for cutting purposes. Pkt. 20c. 
GIANT COSMOS. 
THE GLORY OF THE AUTUMN GARDEN. 
These are the latest developments in this favorite autumn-flowering annual; 
the flowers are often 4 to 5 inches across. The petals are broad and overlap¬ 
ping, 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 G feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.
