Autumn Giant, or Lady Lenox Cosmos 



COSMOS 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. They produce thousands 

 of artistic flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, fur- 

 nishing an abundance of cut blooms for autumn decorations 

 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 lipht, 

 not too rich soil, but do well almost 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 

 flowering type.
