Burpee*s Cosmos 
Beautiful suminer and fall blooming plants; decorative in the garden 
and wonderful tor cutting. Always popular, but more so now than 
ever, due to the introduction of the early midsummer flowering 
type a few years ago, followed by the beautiful early yellow 
cosmos. Orange Flare and the later golden orange flowers of 
Burpee s Golden. Following these introductions is the 
Mammoth Sensation—the earliest and largest of all cosmos 
to date. 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, happi¬ 
ness. and memories. One of the easiest flowers to grow 
Do well anywhere but succeed best in a well-drained soil 
and a sandy location. Stake tall growing varieties.
