ANNUAL FLOWERS: THE COMPOSITES 



Cosmos and Others 

 Flower Show (Autumn) 



Have a little exhibit of the composite annual flowers 

 — Cosmos, China Asters, Marigolds, Bachelor's Buttons, 

 Zinnias, and others. 



Separate the different sorts of flowers and label each 

 sort. 



Many pictures and suggestions as to arrangement may 

 be found in The Flower Beautiful. Try to get a wall 

 vase for the school. One is shown with China Asters in 

 the picture on page 72. 



Growing Seedlings (Spring) 



Early in May sow seed of cosmos in a row outdoors. 



Keep the soil moist and free from weeds. 



When the seedlings are about three inches high, dig 

 up to transplant into the school garden or the home 

 gardens of pupils.
