Cosmos HHA 



One of our most popular annuals for tall borders and for cutting, blooming in late sum- 

 mer and fall. Of tall and upright growth with finely cut foliage and graceful, long-stemmed 

 showy flowers that last well in water. For early flowers the seed should be sown in boxes 

 in March or April, or planted in the open ground as soon as all danger from frost is past. 

 Pinch back plants when they are once well established, as this makes them more sturdy and 

 compact and encourages them to bloom earlier and more freely. 



THE NEW EARLY DOUBLE-CRESTED. This fine, new type makes particularly 

 effective flowers for cutting. About 75 per cent of the seedlings will bear large, beauti- 

 fully formed flowers with full-double centers and an outer row or crest of guard petals. 

 Blooms from early August until frost. 5 feet tall.
