The flowers vary considerably in their degree of doubleness, as shown in our illustration, some being absolutely double, while others have a frill or coUar surrounding _, '-^ââ " the double disc, and while we think this r is the most artistic, they are beautiful in either form of high value for cutting and garden /. decoration. ; A strain of the early blooming Cosmos with double flowers has also been developed and we offer both types. Tne late-flowering variety I may be expected to produce the largest percent- ^ age of doubles and the finest blooms, but for localities north of Philadelphia, the early flower- ^ - ing type is recommended. The plants have >-*^ \ somewhat heavier, less cut foliage than the "--" regular single-flowering type, so that the fact that they wUl produce double flowers can be ', determined by the foliage when the seedlings ^- are quite small. Early Double Cosmos This new type is sure to be appreciated, flowering from ^ July or August to the end of the season. per pkt, 2076 Carnelia. Rich rosy crimson $0 25 S, 2077 Peachblossom.
