Cosmos, Gould’s Extra 
Early Flowering 
The Cosmos is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the Autumn flowering annuals. 
Its graceful flowers borne on long 
stems, rising above the feathery foli¬ 
age, are very desirable for cut flowers, 
lasting for a week or more in water. 
It is a very proliflc bloomer and if the 
plants are given enough space to de¬ 
velop well, will branch freely, every 
shoot being covered with a mass of 
lovely flowers. Cosmos is very effective 
among shrubbery and especially de¬ 
sirable for inter-planting with early 
blooming perennials, as it Alls in the 
gaps when the latter die down. Our 
extra early Cosmos is the earliest of 
its kind, growing to a height of about 
4 feet and if seeded in the open as 
soon as the soil Is in condition, or 
transplanted from plants after all 
danger of frost. Cosmos will bloom 
from July until frost.

feet, forming a perfect bush massed 
with blooms, bearing beautiful flowers
