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 

 rpen 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 forty- 

 five to fifty days from the time seed is sown. The plants grow

Early Colossal Cosmos 



Early Colossal or 

 Midsummer Giant 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.

The Beautiful New Cosmos 

 2102 Early Orange Flare 



This new Cosmos offered for the first time last year 

 has proved one of the most beautiful of all flowers. It 

 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 begins to bloom in July and continues uninterruptedly 

 until frost if the flowers are picked as they fade. The 

 plants grow about 4 feet high and are therefore splen- 

 did for the background of the border. No garden is 

 complete without it. Pkt. 20c; special pkt. 60c.
