Chisolmii with the 20th Century. D. Chisolmii is a remarkable species discovorei three yea's ago in Mexico. It has bright scarlet llowers on very long stems; the loaves are very large, simple and cov- ered with coarse hairs. The hybrids heretofore have only been tried at Washington in the grounds of the Dept. ol Agriculture. Last year the third generation seedlings gave almost every shade of color common to the Dahlia. The flower stems are, as a rule, longer than those of the varieties in common cultivation; most of the seedlings are single, some are semi-double and others quite double, those of the latter resembling more or less those of the Cactus class. The Cosmos Dahlias do best the second year, especially when the old tubers are planted. In Washing- ton they have done well when planted deeply during the first half of April. The principal feature of the Cosmos Dalilia is Its early flower- ing Dahlia Chisolmii.
