COSMOS. 
EARLY Suinmer-tloweriiiQ .COSMOS. 
The Cosmos has developed into one of our most 
beautiful garden annuals, and has been appropri¬ 
ately called “The Glory of Autumn.” Unfortunately 
they do not bloom until quite late, and sometimes 
in colder Northern States early frost catches them 
before they are fully in flower. This new strain of 
early-flowering Cosmos, which we have been working 
up for several years, begins to bloom seatteringly 
in June, the quantity increasing gradually until 
August, and from that time until frost the plants 
area mass of flowers. The plants are dwarfer than the 
late-flowering Cosmos,formingcompactbushes only 
4 feet high. The colors are white, crimson and pink, 
which we offer only in mixture. (See cut.)...Pkt. 10
