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 

 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 induce 

 a bushy growth. They produce thousands of beautiful flowers in pure white, 

 pink, and crimson shades, furnishing an abundance of cut blooms for autumn 

 decoration when other flowers are scarce. (See cut.)
