Cosmos 
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 desir¬ 
able for inter-planting with early 
blooming perennials, as it fills in the 
gaps when the latter die down. 
Gould’s 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 condi¬ 
tion, or transplanted from plants after 
all danger of frost, Cosmos will bloom 
from July until frost.

Early Klondyke Orange Flare. Grand 
Champion Gold Medal 1935 All-Ameri¬ 
can Selections. Granted the highest 
honor that can be bestowed on a new 
flower variety in the United States, 
Orange Flare has proven itself worthy 
of this honor. The long stemmed flow¬ 
ers of bright vivid orange are freely 
borne on 2 to 3-foot, well shaped plants 
which have sparse growth of light 
green foliage. If plants are started 
indoors it will flower in sixty to seven¬ 
ty days after setting out. Pkt. 10c. 
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 gar¬ 
den, and will continue to bloom until 
frost.

Dahl ia Seed 
Growing Dahlias from seed is very in¬

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.
