EXTRA EARLY COSMOS. 



Seeds sown in the open ground April 27th produced plants 

 that were covered with bloom July 20th, two months before the 

 late-flowering kinds. While the flowers are not so large as the 

 late sort, they are of good size, having been greatly improved in 

 the last year or two, and will undoubledly perfect their 1 looms in 



the most northerly States.

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

 furnishing 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 light, 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.
