FLOWER SEEDS \\ 



Cosmos hha 



Mexican plants with handsome, cut foliage and graceful, long- 

 stemmed, showy flowers, known as Mexican Dahlias. The Mammoth 

 varieties should be sown early and the growth pinched when well 

 established. This checking of the growth, as with dahlias, induces early 

 flowering, thereby avoiding frosts, which otherwise may overtake them. 

 The pinching will also render plants more sturdy and compact and pro- 

 vide a larger number of blooms.
