COSMOS 



One of our most useful and beautiful autumn flowers. The feathery foliage 

 makes a highly desirable background for other annuals, and the dainty flowers 

 are most gi-acefuUy poised on long, slender stems, ideal for cutting. To get it 

 in bloom early, the seed should be so^vn in May in the open ground, where 

 the plants are desired to bloom, and the seedlings allowed lo grow and flower 

 without being transplanted. However, it may be transplanted at any time, 

 even when in flower and will continue to grow without check. 



Farquhar's Early Giants. An early-flowerfng strain of the Giant 

 Cosmos, bearing large flowers of perfect form. The plants of this ^^ 

 type are bushy, grow about 4 feet high, and begin blooming in July. T '
