Cosmos 
The Cosmos is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the autumn flowering annuals. 
Its graceful flowers borne on long 
stems, rising above the feathery foli¬ 
age, are very desirable for cut flowers, 
lasting for a week or more in water. 
It is a very prolific bloomer and if the 
plants are given enough space to de¬ 
velop well, will branch freely, every 
shoot being covered with a mass of 
lovely flowers. Cosmos is very effective 
for inter-planting with early blooming 
perennials. 
Gould’s Extra Early Cosmos is the 
earliest of its kind, growing to a height 
of about 4 feet and if seeded in the 
open as soon as the soil is in condi¬ 
tion, or transplanted from plants after 
all danger of frost, Cosmos will bloom 
from July until frost.
