fCOSMOS 
These delightful, fall blooming 
plants are seldom lacking in our 
gardens. Their growth is much 
branched and bushy up to 6 or 
even 6 feet, the fine-cut, lacy foliage 
being decidedly ornamental from the 
very first. Special soil preparation is 
not necessary and the early flowering 
kinds may be sown where they are to 
stay; but the later types should be 
started inside, preferably potted to pro¬ 
cure a confin^ rootball, and transplant¬ 
ed to not less than 18 inches interval 
only after danger of frosts is over. It is 
■well to pinch back the tops at about 2 
feet, to induce more branches. The flow¬ 
ers are conspicuously large and well 
distributed, brightly colored, and very 
welcome for both garden show and bou¬ 
quets at a time when bloom is scarce. 
MAMMOTH EARLY FLOWER¬ 
ING COSMOS

not so tall. 
Mammoth Early Mixed. Pkt., 10c; 
^ oz., 20c; oz., 50c. 
GIANT FANCY COSMOS 
Called “Giant” because their flowers 
were so much larger and more perfect 
than the old line of Cosmos, which they 
have since entirely replaced. On account 
of their late bloom, it is best to sow their 
seeds inside to get an early start; then 
transplanting after the late spring 
frosts. Northern gardens may be re¬ 
warded for a considerable period before 
the first frosts of autumn. 
Giant Cosmos Mixed. Pkt., 10c; ^

stems ; fine for use as a cut flower.
