BURPEES 
YELLOW COSMOS | 
Silver Medal Winner 
All-America Selections for 1942 
1943 Burpee’s Yellow Cosmos or 
Yellow Flare is the first and only yel- 
low’ cosmos in cultivation; the com- 
panion to Orange Flare and like it in 
earliness, plant habit and ease of cul- 
ture. The color, however, is different— 
bright yellow, fresh and clear, with 
faint, almost unnoticeable darker golden 
shadings. Flowers are single, 2% in. 
across, with jagged or pointed ray tips, 
which are somewhat incurved. 
Plants are bushy and vigorous in 
growth, 3 ft. and more tall, depending 
on location; flowering is extremely free, 
beginning when plants are small and 
continuing and improving with the de- 
velopment of the plant until checked 
by frost. Showy in the garden or for 
home decoration. Grows anywhere, and 
its early flowering is of particular value 
in sections having short summers. 
Pkt. 25¢; Vg oz. 60¢; 14 oz. $1.00. 

BURPEE’S 
SUPER GIANTS 
3175 Burpee’s Super Giants are the 
largest of all Zinnias and contain the 
loveliest colors and combinations of 
colors ever seen in this flower. Rare and 
unusual shades of cream, buff, apricot, 
salmon, rose and orange predominate, 
with a few yellows and whites; scarlet 
and crimson are not prominent, though 
there are some very attractive flowers 
in these colors. One is impressed at the 
many two-tone and three-tone color 
effects seen in some of the blooms. 
Flowers are truly giant, 5% to 6% in. 
across and of a wide diversity of flower 
form; some like Dahlia Flowered, others 
like Giants of California and still others 
with curled and twisted chrysanthe- 
mum_-like flower heads. Striking in the 
garden; invaluable for cutting. 3 ft. 
tall. See color illustration on back cover.
