HENRY A. DREER, 
Early Colossal Cosmos 
Early Colossal or 
Midsummer Giant Single 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. By careful selection they now have flowers as 
large as the late-flowering kinds, and will undoubtedly perfect 
their blooms in the most northerly States.

New Cosmos—2102 Early Orange Flare 
Among the new flowers offered this year for the first 
time this new Cosmos stands out as a most unusual and 
remarkable variety because it gives us a Cosmos of a 
distinct and rich vivid orange color. Its particular 
value lies in the fact that it is early blooming and may 
therefore be enjoyed even in northerly sections where 
the old yellow-flowered Klondyke would not produce 
blooms. It will bloom within 5 months after sowing.

Philadelphia, Pa. 
Cosmos ® 
Beautiful summer and autumn blooming plants. They produce 
thousands of artistic flowers, furnishing an abundance of cut 
blooms for autumn decorations. 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. North of Philadelphia it is 
safer to use the early flowering type. 
Extra-Early Express Cosmos 
2074 Pink. An extra-early single Cosmos flowering in from 
forty-five to fifty days from the time seed is sown. The 
plants grow about two and one-half to three feet high. They 
are covered with medium-sized bright pink flowers.
