Cosmos for Early Autumn Color 
Graceful autumn flowers, fine for cutting and extremely showy in the garden

Magnificent New Cosmos 
Extra Early Sensation 
The flowers of this strain 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 unusually large at all times, plants may be disbudded 
for even larger flowers for the cut flower trade.
