Giant-Flowering Cosmos Lady Li:nox 



COSMOS 



Beautiful autumn- blooming plants. They produce thousands of 

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

 ing 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.

 stems and measure from 21 to 3£ inches across. To get

EXTRA EARLY-FLOWERING

Seeds sown in the open ground April 27th produced 

 plants that were covered with bloom July 20th, two months 

 before the late flowering kinds. By careful selection they 

 now have flowers as large as the late-flowering kinds, and 

 will undoubtedly perfect their blooms in the most north- 

 erly States.
