Large Flowering Cosmos. 



Cosmos. 



Beautiful a u t u m n-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 easiest culture, planted 

 about 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 in- 

 duce 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, from 

 September until cut down by 

 frost, thousands of beautiful 

 flowers in pure white, pink and 

 crimson shades, furnishing an 

 abundance of cut blooms for 

 autumn decoration w T hen other 

 flowers are scarce. (See cut.) oz. pkt.
