Ger. Cosmos 
Sp. Cosmos 
Very graceful tall annuals, with large long 
stemmed flowers and finely cut foliage. Cos¬ 
mos are invaluable in the summer and 
autumn garden; the plants are bushy, 5 to 8 
feet high and produce a wealth of excellent 
cut flowers. They are very useful for back 
grounds and screens, or wherever tall heav¬ 
ily branched flowering plants are needed. By 
using both early and late flowering strains 
they may be had in bloom from early sum¬ 
mer until late fall. Easily grown from seed 
and succeeding anywhere.
