RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS, 



>HBMliPHRlk\ 



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 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. North of Philadelphia it is 

 safer' to use the early flowering type.

 flowering kinds, and will undoubtedly perfect their blooms in the most 

 northerly States. Pkt.
