Early Flowering Cosmos 
CASTOR BEAN (Ricinus) “TP”—When quick 
shrub effects for temporary backgrounds 
or screens are needed, these tall tree-like 
plants are excellent. Their growth in a 
single season is remarkable and they are 
highly ornamental. Their broad leaves, 
glossy green or metallic bronze in hue, 
are palm-shaped and beautifully lobed and 
the long spikes of seed pods are scarlet 
or green. Require rich soil and plenty 
of water. It is claimed by many that 
Castor Bean plants growing in a garden 
will discourage moles and gophers. Pkt.

COSMOS “HA”—Five ft. Every gardener 
delights in these choice plants for late 
summer blooms. Feathery light green fo¬

cate texture with broad petals often over¬ 
lapping and fluted, as poised terminally 
on long graceful stems suitable for cut¬ 
ting. Plants do well in any sunny spot, 
but bloom more profusely in poor soil 
which discourages excessive root growth.
