Tall, majestic plants for lawns, with leaves of glossy green, brown or bronzed metallic hue, and long spikes of prickly capsules of scarlet and green. Of very quick growth in rich soil. Tender annuals, 8 to 10 ft. high. 34 Mixed. 5c. CHRYSANTHEMUM. The tall, double- flowered annual Chry- santhemums when well grown are among the most showy and effective of summer flowering plants. To allow for individual development, they should be thinned out from twelve to eigh- teen inches apart; the dwarf kinds make showy bedding plants. Hardy annuals. 12 to 18 inches high. 35 Fine mixed. 5c. CLARKIA. A beautiful tribe of favorite plants with pretty, cheerful-looking flowers, growing freely and blooming profusely under almost any circumstances. Hardy annuals. 36 Fine mixed. Double and single. 5c. COCKSCOMB -Celosia Christata. An old popular annual, of easy culture. Flowers much re- semble a cock's comb. A favorite for bedding out, and the new dwarf sorts especially make fine pot plants. 37 Dwarf, fine mixed. 5c. Celosia Plumosa. Feathered or Plumed Cockscomb. Differs from the preceding, in that the plants are of branching habit and produce long feathery plumes instead of comb-like flowers. 38 Mixed colors. 5c. COSMOS. A very graceful and showy plant, quite hardy. A very rapid grower, forms bushes from four to eight feet high with fine feathery foliage, cov- ered with flowers resembling a single Dahlia. The mammoth varieties must be started in heat in March, and plant- ed out in June, else but few flowers will show before frost comes. The new Early Flowering, however, al- though not producing flowers quite as large, can be sown in open ground ^ in May and will flower in July. Hardy annuals. 39 Mammoth fine mixed. 5c 40 New Early Flowering.
