Mammoth Tall White Cosmos 
COSMOS 
This is one of the most notable summer and 
fall flowers, the specialists’ skill having added 
much to its beauty. 
We recommend the sowing of Cosmos 
about the first of May, outdoors in 
rows, covering the seed about ^inch, 
and when the plants are about 3 inches 
high, thin out or transplant to not less 
than 2 feet apart. Any garden soil 
will grow Cosmos to perfection; fre¬ 
quent cultivation around the base of 
the plants will greatly benefit them. 
Early Single Dwarf Cosmos, 
Summer-Flowering Type 
Frequently the amateur finds that the 
Cosmos of the Late-flowering Tall type, 
selected by him for growing in borders or 
beds with other annual flowers, is unsuit¬ 
able because of flowering late in the 
summer, and also growing to the height of 
6 to 8 feet. We, therefore, take pleasure in 
offering this new Early-flowering Dwarf 
Cosmos, which, if sown outdoors about the 
first of May, will give an abundance of cut- 
flowers for the table or home decoration 
from July until cut down by frost. 
This type of Cosmos grows about 4 feet 
high, and while the flowers are not quite 
so large as the Late Mammoth-flowering 
type offered on this page, they are admirably 
adapted to the use of the suburbanite whose 
garden-space is small.

Late Single Tall Cosmos, Mammoth- 
Flowering Type 
This type of Cosmos, which has been greatly im¬ 
proved over the old tall, small-flowering varieties, 
blooms late in the summer—usually September in this 
latitude—and coming at this season of the year, when 
nearly everything in the garden has finished blooming, 
it is a very desirable addition.
