Burpee’s COSMOS 
Beautiful summer and fall blooming plants; decora- 
tive in the garden and wonderful for cutting, lasting 
longer if flowers are placed in water immediately after 
being cut. Do well anywhere but succeed best in a well- 
drained soil and a sunny, sheltered location. Stake tall 
growing varieties to protect plants from high winds. 
We offer early flowering types only which are popular 
everywhere and especially desirable in sections having 
a short growing season. Very easy to grow. 
Early Single 
Blooms, 3 in. across, are produced in about 12 weeks from seed. 
Plants grow 4 ft. tall and continue to flower profusely for 2 months.
