Burpee*s Showy Cosmos 
Beautiful summer and fall blooming plants; 
decorative in the garden and wonderful for 
cutting. Always popular, but more so now than 
ever, no doubt due to the introduction of the 
early midseason type a few years ago, followed 
by the beautiful yellow Cosmos and Mammoth 
Sensation. Plant as many varieties as space 
will permit, for a garden is incomplete without 
this lovely flower. They are old favorites, a 
constant expression of friendliness, happiness, 
and memories. One of the easiest to grow. 
ScnSfltlOn {Mammoth Flowering) 
Giant flowers, 4 to 6 in. across, are had 
within 10 weeks from seed and are borne 
most profusely until frost on strong, ro¬ 
bust plants, 4 to 6 ft. high. Flowers have 
prettily fluted petals which slightly over¬ 
lap. They are borne on long strong stems 
so desirable for cutting. Larger flowers, 
if wanted for exhibition or other pur¬ 
poses, may be obtained by disbudding,
