EARLY COSMOS. 
Summer-Flowering. 
Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do 
not bloom until late in the season. This new 
early-flowering strain begins to bloom scat- 
teringly in June, the quantity increasing 
gradually until August, and from that time- 
until frost the plants are a mass of flowers. 
The flowers are smaller and the plants are 
dwarfer than the late-flowering Cosmos 
offered above, forming compact bushes only 
4 feet high. The colors are white, crimson 
and pink, which we offer only in Mixed 
Colors. (See cut.) . Pkt. .10
