Cosmos for Early Autumn Color 
Graceful autumn flowers, fine for cutting and extremely showy in the garden. 
Very easily grown. They do best in rather poor soil. 
515 COSMOS SENSATION FINEST MIXED. For the short time it has been on 
the market Cosmos Sensation has earned for itself a remarkable position in 
the garden world. The flowers are mammoth in size, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, 
with broad, heavy fluted petals carried on very long strong stems. It is 
extremely early flowering, blooming in 10 weeks from the time of seeding. The 
plants make a rather heavy growth of foliage, reach a height of about 4 feet, 
are free blooming, and while the flowers are unusualy large at all times, 
plants may be disbudded for even larger flowers for the cut flower trade. The 
mixture contains white, and shades of rose and pink. Award of Merit 1936
