NEW MAMMOTH FLOWERING 
COSMOS “SENSATION” 
For the past few years one of our Minnesota growers has been 
reaping more or less of a financial harvest in the production of a 
Mammoth Flowering Cosmos which he had obtained through 
years of selection. Merchandising the blooms of same to promi¬ 
nent retailers of St. Paul and Minneapolis for the past three 
years and we have prevailed on him to supply us with seeds of 
same to offer to the trade. The advantage of this new Cosmos 
is not only its unusually large size, but the important fact that 
plants come into bloom in about ten weeks from time of sowing 
seed. 
Following is an excerpt from The Florists’ Review, issue of 
November 1, 1934. 
"A new Cosmos, called Sensation, is on display this week at the 
store of the American Bulb Co. The variety is remarkable for the 
size of flower-about four inches across-and its early-blooming 
habit. The flowers were cut ten weeks after sowing the seed in 
open ground, and the grower stated the large blooms came with¬ 
out disbudding.” 
Mr. O. J. Olson of Holm and Olson, the well-known retailers and 
growers, of Saint Paul, Minn., says of “Sensation Cosmos” 
“It is a dandy. Much larger than any cosmos we see later in the 
season. We have found them good sellers and believe it is quite 
a big acquisition to the cutflower trade.”

A very new flower that creates a good deal of interest is the recent introduction of 
Bodger s-Cosmos Orange Flare. It was the first prize winner in the All-American trials 
for 193 5. A planting of this new flower, with its brilliant orange coloring excites the 
interest of all the visitors, many of them not believing it is a Cosmos.”
