Cosmos for Early Autumn Color 
Graceful autumn flowers, fine for cutting and extremely showy in the garden. 
Very easily grown. They do best in rather poor soil. 
521 ORANGE FLARE. Now at last we may grow the lovely orange-colored 
Cosmos and be assured of having flowers before frost. In most parts of the 
country this brilliant hued flower is practically unknown because of its late 
flowering habit. In Orange Flare we offer an early flowering strain which may 
be enjoyed by all. Fkt., 15c; y 4 oz., 25c. 
Cosmos, Sensation 
The flowers of this strain are mammoth in size, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with 
broad, heavy fluted petals carried on very long strong stems. It is extremely early 
flowering, blooming in 10 weeks from the time of seeding. The plants make a 
rather heavy growth of foliage, reach a height of about 4 feet, are free blooming, 
and while the flowers are unusually large at all times, plants may be disbudded 
for even larger flowers for the cut flower trade.

Grow Dahlias from Seed 
While usually grown from roots and cuttings, fine flowers can be produced in 
one season from seed, if it is sown early indoors and the plants set out when 
the ground is warm.

Dahlias is grown by one of California’s leading hybridists. This Dahlia spe¬ 
cialist has introduced several of America’s best Dahlias. From this mixture

yellow and maroon. From seed sown in the spring, plants begin flowering in 
the summer and improve until killed by frost. They grow 2 to 3 feet tall, and 
abundant flowers cover them. Tubers are produced which can be saved for the 
next year. They make good pot plants when pinched back. Pkt., 25c.

flowers of various shades of crimson and scarlet, lightened by a few orange 
golden and lilac blooms. The plants are compact but vigorous, each flower borne 
on a very strong straight stem. A very effective bedding strain. Pkt., 25c.

of flowering and height of growth from the Annual Sweet William. It has a 
great variety of color and a very long season of bloom. It is an annual, and 
requires the same culture as Asters, Stocks and Snapdragons. Sown in a hot¬ 
bed in February and March, and then into the open ground early in May, it will

Dimorphotheca 
New African Golden Daisies

have admired their bright blossoms which 
appear in daisy-like form 2 to 3 inches 
across. A showy effect is obtained by using 
mixed colors of African Daisies, and the 
dark shades of Bedding Petunias, sowing the 
seed broadcast or setting out the plants in¬ 
formally, giving the appearance of being 
broadcast. Delights in a sunny situation.
