COSMOS. 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. They produce thousands 

 of beautiful flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, 

 furnishing an abundance of cut blooms for autumn decorations when 

 flowers are scarce. Should be sown in spring in the open ground, when dan- 

 ger of frost is past, or the seed may be started under cover and afterwards trans- 

 planted. Plant not less thap 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 al- 

 most anywhere. The sorts offered below produce the finest flowers, but bloom 

 late, and for points north of Philadelphia it is safer to get the extra early flow- 

 ering type. 



Mammoth Perfection Cosmos. A magnificent selection, bearing flowers 

 of mammoth size and perfect form, and representing the highest development in 

 Cosmos to date. We offer it in the following colors: per pkt.
