Early Colossal Cosmos 



Early Colossal or 

 Midsummer Giant Single 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.

New Cosmos— 2102 Early Orange Flare 



Among the new flowers offered this year for the first 

 time this new Cosmos stands out as a most unusual and 

 remarkable variety because it gives us a Cosmos of a 

 distinct and rich vivid orange color. Its particular 

 value lies in the fact that it is early blooming and may 

 therefore be enjoyed even in northerly sections where 

 the old yellow-flowered Klondyke would not produce 

 blooms. It will bloom within 5 months after sowing. 

 Pkt. 25c; special pkt. 75c. 



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 oi 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. 



Extra-Early Express Cosmos 



2074 Pink. An extra-early single Cosmos flowering in from 

 forty-five to fifty days from the time seed is sown. The 

 plants grow about two and one-half to three feet high. They 

 are covered with medium-sized bright pink flowers.
