A beautiful planting of Tall Late Mammoth-flowering Cosmos 
Cosmos Culture 2 
A hardy and rapid-growing annual, forming bush-like plants 
3 to 7 feet high, with feathery green ornamental foliage, covered 
with large flowers somewhat resembling the single dahlia. 
For ordinary culture, sow outdoors in April in rather light soil, 
not too rich, and preferably in a sunny situation. Cover the 
seed with from 34 to 34 inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. 
If planted in rows, make the rows about 2 feet apart, and thin 
to stand about 1 foot apart in the row. If more bushy growth 
is desired, pinch off the tops of the plants when 1 foot high. 
Single Cosmos 
While the early types are 
pretty, the real aristocrats of 
the Cosmos family are the 
gigantic, late-blooming va¬ 
rieties which sometimes run 
a race with the first frosts. 
Dwarf Early Summer-flowering 
This early-flowering strain grows about 4 feet high, and 
blooms profusely four weeks earlier than the large sorts. The 
flowers are not as large as the Late Mammoth-flowering. 
White, Pink, Crimson, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 10c.; 34oz. 25c. 
Early Double-flowering 
This type of Cosmos has real double flowers about 134 inches 
in diameter, resembling an anemone-flowered chrysanthemum. 
The plants grow to a height of about 4 feet, forming a perfect 
bush, massed with bloom. They come about 65 per cent double 
from seed and bloom in 70 days from seed. White, Pink, Crim¬ 
son, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 20 cts.; fsoz. 40 cts. 
Early Express 
This excellent strain has earned a very definite place among 
Cosmos. Its chief advantage is the short time required from 
seeding-time to first bloom—45 days—making it the very 
earliest Cosmos so far available. It forms only 3-foot plants, 
but the single flowers compare well in size with those of the 
Tall Late Mammoth-flowering strain. Ht. 3 ft. Crimson, 
Pink, White, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 15 cts.; 34oz. 45 cts. 
Tall Late Mammoth-flowering 
These tall, graceful plants are most effective when planted 
in broad masses along background borders against evergreens 
or shrubs. The gigantic flowers, borne on long stems, and the 
feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful arrangements for 
bouquets. Blooms from late August until frost. Ht. 5 to 7 ft. 
White, Pink, Crimson, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 10 cts.; 34 oz - 25 cts.
