Mammoth Early-Flowering Cosmos 



Cosmos hha 



Oiu- ol our most popular annuals for tall borders and for cutting, blooming in late summer and fall. Of tall and upright growth with 

 finely cut foliage and graceful, long-stemmed, showy llowers 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. The plants should be pinched back 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 DOUBLE-CRESTED. This fine, new type makes par- 

 ticularly effective llowers for cutting. About 75 per cent of the 

 seedlings will bear large, beautifully formed flowers with full-double 

 centers and an outer row or crest of guard petals. Blooms from 

 mid-August until frost. 5 feet tall.
