COSMOS. 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. They produce thousands of 

 beautiful flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, furnishing 

 an abundance of cut blooms for autumn decoration v:hen other 

 flowers are scarce. 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 or 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. 

 (See cut. ) 



In sections of the country ivhere Cosmos will not mature 

 its flowers before frost, we recommend the use of single 

 Dahlias. See next page.
