COSMOS -Radiance 
(Illustrated on Front Cover) 
HIGHEST MEDAL AWARD WINNER FOR 1948 
From India came the first few seeds of a rare bi-colored 
Cosmos some twelve years ago. This rare stock was 
painstakingly crossed with the early Sensation type and 
the resultant generations carefully selected until at last 
a larger flowered, more vigorous Sensation Cosmos was 
developed with a striking central zone.

COSMOS—YELLOW FLARE 

Easily grown from seed Radiance will produce a wealth of blooms over a 
long period and its long, strong stems and exceptional keeping quality make 
it a capital cut flower. Its great size and striking colors (deep rose and 
deep crimson) are even more beautiful by artificial light. Radiance is a 
perfect gem in a perfect setting designed for the special enjoyment of 
amateur and professional gardeners the world over. 
Plant March through August
