Double-crested Cosmos 
Cynoglossum amabile 
Coreopsis 
Cosmos 
These are among the most popular and 
easily grown annual flowers, making a won¬ 
derful display in beds and borders in the 
garden and furnishing an abundance of cut- 
blooms for house decoration in the fall when 
other flowers are scarce. Sow the seed out¬ 
doors just as soon as danger from frost is 
over, or it may be started in coldframes and 
then transplanted. Thin or transplant 18 
inches apart, and pinch back the tops to 
make them branch. Cosmos prefer a rather 
light soil but do well most anywhere.
