Be sure to include a package of Klondyke Orange 
Flare Cosmos in your order. 
COSMOS 
• EARLY FLOWERING SINGLE 
This new class of extra early, mammoth, 
flowering Cosmos, producing beautiful flowers, 
measuring four to five inches across, 60 days 
from sowing of the seed. This is a better flower 
than the late cosmos; it produces its flowers on 
wonderfully long stems, which are used exten¬ 
sively for cut flowers. Cut the flowers as fast 
as they open and their place will be taken by 
others for a long blooming period. Mixed colors. 
Pkt., 5c; i/ 2 oz., 15c; oz., 25c. 
• EARLY FLOWERING DOUBLE 
This very popular flower—of the early flowering 
type is now produced in the double—and as I saw 
them growing in the big fields this summer they 
were the peer of the big singles. They are borne 
on long stems and bloom from early in the sea¬ 
son until frost. 
Double Mixed Cosmos. Pkt., 10c; 2 for 15c.

is indeed a New Flower for the People. At 
Yankton, Orange Flare Cosmos were in bloom 
sixty-eight days from the time the seed was 
planted and continued blooming through the

orange. Pkt., 8c; Vi oz., 20c.

CALENDULAS 
• CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA 
ALL AMERICAN SELECTIONS 1934 
Chrysantha is distinct in type, a new break in 
Calendulas which is outstanding among all 
varieties known up to the present time. The 
large double flowers are an exquisite shade of 
clear buttercup yellow, with long loosely ar¬ 
ranged petals which droop somewhat to give the 
rounded appearance of a Chrysanthemum. 
Besides adding a bright golden splash of color 
to the garden, Chrysantha is remarkable for its 
long stiff stems, making it ideal for cutting. The 
fact that it won one of the coveted Gold Medals 
in the All American Selections competitions this 
year indicates the high esteem in which it is held 
by the horticulturists of the country. Pkt., 6c; 
1/2 oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c. 
• Orange King—Double, dark orange red, dark

tain a height of eighteen inches and produce

CALENDULA 
OfcANGE SHAGGY 
( 
Gold Medal Winner 1935 All America Selections 
• Calendulas in recent years have enjoyed a de¬ 
cided revival of interest. Many new colors have 
been introduced in the ordinary double form, and 
several new and interesting flower types have 
been developed. One of the most interesting, and 
certainly the most distinct of these new types is 
the new laciniated petaled type, Orange Shaggy. 
It is destined to become one of our most popular 
garden flowers. Deep orange in color, exceed¬ 
ingly graceful and informal in appearance, it is 
a striking contrast to the formal Calendulas in 
general use. Excellent for use both in the garden 
and for cutting. Pkt., 7c; Vfe oz., 20c; 1 oz., 35c 
COLEUS, Large Leaved 
These are the ornamental “foliage” plants so 
well adapted for growing in the house in winter. 
They can also be transplanted outdoors when 
the weather is warm, and for borders or window 
boxes in partial shade they are unexcelled. The 
large rich velvety leaves are of many shades and 
combinations of green, red, and yellow. Finest 
Mixed. Pkt., 15c; 2 for 25c.
