COSMOS. 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. They produce thousands of 

 beautiful flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, furnish- 

 ing an abundance of cut blooms for autumn decoration when other 

 •flowers are scarce. Should be sown in spring in the open 

 ground, when danger of frost is past, or the seed may be started 

 under cover and afterwards transplanted. Plant not less than 18 

 inches apart in rows or in masses in beds. When the plants are 

 about a foot high the tops should be pinched out to induce a bushy 

 ^growth. They prefer- a rather light, not too rich soil, but do 

 well almost anywhere.
