COSMOS RADIANCE 
Pictured in color on back cover. 
The First Bicolor Cosmos Ever 
Developed. 
616—Winner of the highest award in the ’48 All 
America trials, Radiance introduces two entirely 
new colors in Sensation Cosmos: Striking deep 
rose, and rich crimson. It is the first big postwar 
novelty. One of its parents came to this country 
from far off India 12 years ago. This has been 
crossed with American Cosmos and a program of 
careful selection carried out for 12 years at 
Bodger Lompoc, Calif., breeding grounds. Radi- 
ance has larger flowers than the sensation type, 
and an erect, strong habit characteristically its 
own. The colors, striking by daylight, change 
completely in artificial light, becoming deep vel- 
vety erimson and soft luminescent rose. Excep- 
tionally long lasting when cut, with a pleasing 
ara quite noticeable fragrance. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts.
