Breck’s Early Flowering Cosmos 
Cosmos (Cosmea) 
We especially recommend Brock's Massachusetts 
grown Cosmos as the most desirable and most satis¬ 
factory for growing in Sew England. Under ordi¬ 
nary cultivation they will begin to bloom in Inly and 
continue up to frost. The flowers are of good size and 
delicate shades. Sow seeds of Breck’s Early Flower¬ 
ing varieties in open ground, in light warm soil, early 
in May and cover not more than half an inch deep. 
The seed germinates in about ten days. The Cos¬ 
mos must have the full sunshine for"successful grow¬ 
ing. High-grade fertilizer, rich in potash, such as 
Breck's Lawn and Garden Dressing , gives best re¬ 
sults. Seeds of the later varieties should be sown 
early in March in a hot-bed or box in the house. 
When plants are 2 inches high transplant into 2- 
inch pots, when well established repot into 4-inch 
pots and water moderately. Transplant to open 
ground in June.

Dahlias (Breck’s Selected). 
We offer seed of the following varieties. This seed is 
saved from the best collections in Europe. If the seed is started 
early in a hot-bed an abundance of flowers will be produced the 
same season. Dahlias like a good, deep, rich soil. The roots 
should be housed during winter in a cool cellar where they will 
be safe from frost. In spring roots can be divided and about 
May 20th transplanted to the open ground.
