OIANT EARLY FLOWERING cosmos. These new hybrids originated in California. They bloom from one to two months sooner than the ordinary kinds. These giant flowers are sur- passingly beautiful, measuring it)4 to 5 inches across. Some are shaped like single Camelias, but larger and more beautiful; some of the crimson ones could almost be taken tor single Dahlias; white ones have plaited petals, prettily fringed, resembling the California Tree Poppy. The petals are plain in some flowers; in others pinked, toothed, or fringed, and beauti- fully overlapping. Colors range from pure white through shades of pink and red. The latter are dark rich shades of red, shades heretofore unknown in Cosmos. Some white ones are delicately flushed or flecked with pink or mauve, and very beautiful flow- ers in pink and mauve have a dark red ring around the eye.
