COSMOS. 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. The flowers are borne profusely on long stems, 



and present a charming appearance when the plants are in full bloom. 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. It is of the 



p^'iiest culture, planted about 18 inches apart in rows or in 



sses in beds. When the pbnts are about afoot high, the tops 



should be pinched out to induce a bushy growth, and 



this should be continued until the middle of July, 



when they should have formed nice bushy plants, 3 



feet high by the same in diameter. They produce 



thousands of beautiful flowers in pure white, pink, and 



crimson shades, furnishing an abundance of cut blooms 



for autumn decora'tion when other flowers are scarce.
