Burpee’s Cosmos 
Beautiful summer and fall blooming plants; decorative in the 
garden and wonderful for cutting. Always popular, but more so 
now than ever, due to the introduction of the early midsummer 
flowering type, the beautiful early Orange Flare, and the 
earliest and largest of all cosmos—Mammoth Sensation. 
Plant as many varieties as space will permit, for a garden is 
incomplete without this lovely flower. They are old favor- 
ites, a constant expression of friendliness, happiness, and 
memories. One of the easiest flowers to grow. Do well 
anywhere but succeed best in a well-drained soil and a 
sandy location. Tall growing varieties should be staked.

Sensation Cosmos 
(Early Blooming, Mammoth Flowering) 
Giant flowers, 4 to 6 in. across, are had within 10 weeks from

able for cutting. Larger flowers, if wanted for exhibition or other 
purposes, may be obtained by disbudding. All-America Winner.
