COSMOS 
Beautiful summer and autumn blooming plants. They produce 
thousands of artistic flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, 
furnishing an abundance of cut blooms for autumn decorations when 
other flowers are scarce. 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. Plant not less than 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 prefer a rather light, not 
too rich soil, but do well almost anywhere. The Autumn Giant sorts 
produce the finest flowers, but bloom late, and for points north of Phil- 
adelphia it is safer to get the extra early flowering type; the double 
flowering type is becoming very popular; 3 to 4 feet. 
Extra Early Colossal or Midsummer 
Giant Cosmos 
Seeds sown in the open ground April 27th produced plants that were 
covered with bloom July 20th, two months before the late-flowering 
kinds. By careful selection they now have flowers as large as the late- 
flowering kinds, and will undoubtedly perfect their blooms in the most 
northerly States.
