COSMOS 35 



height of ten feet, bearing white, pink, or crim- 

 son flowers. The Cosmos Hybridus Hsted by 

 seedsmen appears to be a trade name for mixed 

 varieties of the Cosmos bipinnatus. All the 

 yellow varieties are derived from Cosmos sid- 

 phureuSj, while the Cosmos diversifolius is often 

 called Black Cosmos. Some of the recent 

 Cosmos varieties that may be recommended 

 are : Lady Lenox (white), Klondyke (yellow), 

 Conchita (crimson). Marguerite (various 

 colors, fringed petals). While all varieties 

 may be planted south of the latitude of Middle 

 lUinois, the "safe" varieties for north of that 

 are the early flowering mammoth ones.
