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 after being cut. 
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 cosomos—Mammoth Sensation. They are 
old favorites, a constant expression of friendliness, happiness, and 
memories. One of the easiest flowers to grow; a garden seems incom- 
plete without them. Do well anywhere but succeed best in a well- 
drained soil and a sandy location. Stake tall growing varieties.
