Burpee’s Cosmos 
Beautiful summer and fall blooming plants; decorative in the garden and 
wonderful for cutting, lasting longer if flowers are placed in water immediately 
Always popular, but more so now than ever, due to the 
introduction of the early Burpee’s Yellow Cosmos, companion to Orange 
Flare, and the earliest and largest of all cosmos— Mammoth Sensation. They 
are old favorites, a constant expression of friendliness, happiness, and memories. 
One of the easiest flowers to grow; a garden seems incomplete without them. 
Do well anywhere but succeed best in a well-drained soil and a sandy location. 
after being cut. 
Tall growing varieties should be staked. 
1943 Burpee's Yellow (Early) 
The first and only yellow cosmos in cultivation; the companion to 
Orange Flare and like it in earliness, plant habit and ease of culture. 
The color, however, is different—bright yellow, fresh and clear, with 
faint, almost unnoticeable darker golden shadings. 3 ft. and more tall.
