Flower Seeds 



COSMOS HHA 



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

 stemmed, showy flowers, known as Mexican Dahlias. The Mam- 

 moth varieties should be sown early and the growth pinched when 

 well established. This checking of the growth, as with dahlias, in- 

 duces early flowering, thereby avoiding frosts, which otherwise may 

 overtake them. The pinching will also render plants more sturdy and 

 compact and provide a larger number of blooms.
