Cosmos, Gould’s Extra 
Early Flowering 
'The Cosmos is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the Autumn flowering annuals. 
Its graceful flowers borne on long 
stems, rising above the feathery foli¬ 
age, are very desirable for cut flowers, 
lasting for a week or more in water. 
It is a very prolific bloomer and if the 
plants are given enough space to de¬ 
velop well, will branch freely, every 
shoot being covered with a mass of 
lovely flowers. Cosmos is very effective 
among shrubbery and especially de¬ 
sirable for inter-planting with early 
blooming perennials, as it fills in the 
gaps when the latter die down. Our 
extra early Cosmos is the earliest of 
its kind, growing to a height of about 
4 feet and if seeded in the open as 
soon as the soil is in condition, or 
transplanted from plants after all 
danger of frost, Cosmos will bloom 
from July until frost.

Cosmos, Extra Early 
Double Crested 
The double flowering Cosmos has 
caused many exclamations of admira¬ 
tion from those who have seen them 
for the first time. This strain will 
bloom about seventy-five per cent in 
doubles and the balance will revert 
back to the single type. 
They grow to a height of about three 
feet, forming a perfect bush massed 
with blooms, bearing beautiful flowers 
on long stems. They bloom in seventy 
days from seed when sown in the 
garden and will continue to bloom 
until frost.

Dahlia Seed 
Growing Dahlias from seed is very in¬ 
teresting and wonderful blooms are 
obtained the first season if seeds are 
started indoors and transplanted out 
about May 15th to 20th. Some of the 
seeds may come up in a few days, 
while others may not for months. As 
seedlings make about two leaves, 
transplant into a three-inch pot or 
small container until danger of frost 
is over when they can be set out in 
the open.
