COSMOS 
A hardy and rapid-growing annual, forming bush¬ 
like plants 4 to 7 feet high, with feathery green orna¬ 
mental foliage, covered with large flowers somewhat 
resembling the single dahlia. For ordinary culture, 
sow outdoors early in the spring in rather light soil, 
not too rich, and preferably in a sunny situation. 
Cover the seed with from 14 to 14 inch of fine soil 
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 they are about 
1 foot high. The ordinary varieties bloom from late 
August or early September right up to frost. 
Dwarf Early Summer-Flowering. This early-flower¬ 
ing strain grows about 4 feet high, blooms profuse¬ 
ly four weeks earlier than the large sorts, and is 
well adapted to northern latitudes. The flowers are 
not as large as the late Mammoth-flowering. White, 
Delicate Pink, Crimson, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 10c, 
14 oz. 30c. 
Tall Late Mammoth-Flowering. These tall, graceful 
plants are most effective along background borders, 
against evergreens. The gigantic flowers, borne on 
long stems, and the feathery foliage are fine for 
bouquets. Blooms from late August until frost. 5 
to 7 ft. White, Pink, Crimson, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 
10c, 14 oz. 25c. 
Early Double-Flowering. Real double flowers about 
IV 2 inches in diameter. The plants grow to a height 
of 4 feet, forming a perfect bush, massed with 
bloom. They bloom in 70 days after seed is sown. 
White, Pink, Crimson, or Mixed. Each, pkt. 15c, 14 
oz. 70c. 
Early Express. This excellent strain, first offered 
in 1929 in its pink form, 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 Cos¬ 
mos so far available. It forms only 3-foot plants but 
the single flowers compare well in size with Mam¬ 
moth-flowering. Crimson, Pink, White, or Mixed. 
Each, pkt. 25c, 14 oz. 75c, 14 lb. $2.00. 
Double Crested New Early Flowering. (Annual.) A
