and the flowers strikingly effective with long 
stamens. It. is a very rapid grower, and, al¬

climber, can be treated as an annual for the 
garden in summer.15

EARLY SUMMER CM HQ 
FLOWERING . . WJJUUJ. 
The Cosmos has developed into one of our 
most beautiful garden annuals, and has been 
appropriately called “The Glory of Autumn.” 
Unfortunately they do not bloom until quite 
late, and sometimes in colder northern State® 
early frost catches them before they are fully 
in flower. This new strain of early-flowering 
Cosmos, which we have been working up for 
several years, begins to bloom scatteringly in 
June, the quantity increasing gradually until 
August, and from that time until frost the 
plants are a mass of flowers. The plants are 
dwarfer than the late-flowering Cosmos, form¬ 
ing compact hushes only 4 feet high. The 
colors are white, crimson and pink, which wo 
offer only in mixture. (Seecut.) . Pkt. 10
