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, and will undoubtedly perfect 

 their blooms in the most northerly States.

Mammoth Perfection Cosmos. 



COSMOS. 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. They produce thousands 

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

 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 after- 

 wards transplanted. Plant not less than ]§ 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 pro- 

 duce the finest flowers, but bloom late, and for points north of Philadelphia 

 it is safer to get the extra early flowering type. 



Mammoth Perfection Cosmos. A magnificent selection, bearing 

 flowers of mammoth size and perfect form, and representing the highest de- 

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