HENRY A. DREER, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Cosmos ® 



Beautiful summer and autumn blooming plants. They produce 

 thousands of artistic flowers, furnishing an abundance of cut 

 blooms for autumn decorations. Should be sown in spring in the 

 open ground when danger of frost is past, or the seed may be 

 started indoors or in a frame and afterwards transplanted. Plant 

 not less than 18 inches apart. 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. North of Philadelphia it is safer to use the early- 

 flowering type.

Seeds sown in the open ground April 27th produced plants that 

 were covered with blooms July 20th, two months before the late- 

 flowering kinds. By careful selection they now have flowers as 

 large as the late-flowering kinds, and can be depended upon to 

 flower freely even in the most northerly States.
