COSMOS 
It is always refreshing to see well grown 
cosmos in the garden; they’re such graceful, 
airy plants and the flowers are in such de- 
lightful colors. And now you can have cosmos 
blooming in mid-summer, too; the early flower- 
ing California type which has become so popu- 
lar recently. 
EARLY CRESTED—You'll find these very inter- 
esting. Some flowers are all double, others are

Pink, White, and in Mixture.

12 weeks from sowing the seeds. The giant 
flowers are 3 to 4 inches across and the broad 
overlapping petals are mostly fluted. Sensation 
is an unusual and beautiful cosmos and it is 
easy to grow. Sow the seeds where the plants 
are to remain.

DWARF DAHLIAS 
For Gay Colors All Summer 
One of the finest plantings at our Nursery Gar- 
dens is the bed of Dwarf Double Hybrid 
Dahlias. They begin blooming in July and con- 
tinue until late fall. Sometimes when they seem 
about finished we cut them back one-half, then 
they start new growth and bloom again. Of 
course, they are tender and will be finished by 
the first frost. -
