Remarkable New Cosmos 
2091 Extra-Early Sensation Mixed 
The earliest of all Cosmos, blooming several weeks ahead of 
the early-flowering type of Cosmos which in turn flowers con- 
siderably earlier than the original late-flowering varieties. 
Sensation, gives a marvelous display of flowers during the 
summer months long before any other giant-flowering Cosmos 
is available. It is a glorious variety which will produce its 
first blooms 10 weeks after sowing if conditions are favorable. 
Though extra-early it is an unusually large-flowering variety 
with the blooms measuring 4 inches across. If disbudded they 
may be had to measure 6 inches in diameter. The plants are 
vigorous and free-flowering giving a fine display in the garden 
besides yielding plenty of cut flowers.
