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, as they wave to and fro in every passing breeze. 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 a foot 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, fur- 

 nishing an abundance of cut 

 blooms for autumn decoration |p 

 when other flowers are scarce. ^

CYCLAMEN. 



Charming plants with beautiful foliage and rich-colored fragrant flowers, 

 universal favorites for winter and spring blooming. The Giganteum varieties 

 have large leaves and stout flower stalks, throwing the flowers well above 

 the foliage. (See cut.) 



Culture. — Seed may be sown any time during the autumn or spring in 

 shallow boxes (2 inches deep) at a temperature of 60°. As soon as the 

 seedlings have made two leaves transplant into 2-inch pots and place on shelf 

 near the light, but shaded from direct sunlight. As soon as the pots are filled 

 with roots, shift into 3-inch size, and into larger as the operation becomes 

 necessary. They should never be allowed to become dry, or too wet, both 

 conditions being fatal, and succeed best in an even temperature, 50° to 60° 

 being best.
