Annual. Cosmos is one of the most deco- 
rative of our garden flowers, and is of great 
value for cut-bloom. Sow about May 1, out- 
doors, covering the seed 14 inch, and thin out 
or transplant to not less than 114 feet apart. 
Sow under glass in April or May for earlier 
bloom.

All-America Silver Medal Winner for 
1948. A 5-foot variety, rugged, strong, 
bearing a wealth of huge blooms that are
