A Thought for 
Arrangement 
For Spring and Summer blooming, be 
sure to include Cosmos—sowing the seed 
of the Early Flowering Cosmos either in 
the crested or the single varieties. The 
late flowering Cosmos will not bloom 
until Fall. Border the beds with Alys- 
sum, Ageratum, African Daisies, Dwarf 
Nasturtiums, etc. These low border 
plants provide excellent material for 
lovely bowl arrangement. For example, 
Ageratum Blue Perfection placed in a 
bowl with Nasturtium Golden Gleam 
makes a stunning bouquet.
