 with large, showy bright yellow flowers, produced in the greatest 

 abundance from June till frost. As a cut flower they stand near the 

 head among hardy plants, having long stems and lasting in good con- 

 dition a week or more. Easily grown from seed, flowering the first 

 year if sown early. (See cut.) ^ oz., 25 cts 10 



COSMOS 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. They produce thousands of artistic 

 flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, 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 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.
