Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs. /flElflyAJREE^ RELIABLE FLOWER SEEBa >HB«[iPMli\ 81 COSMOS Beautiful summer and autumn blooming plants. They produce thousands of artistic flowers in pure white, pink and crimson shades, furnishing an abundance of cut blooms for autumn decorations when other flowers are scarce. Should be sown in Spring in the open ground,' when danger of frost is past, or the seed may be started under cover and afterwards transplanted. Plant not less than 18 inches apart in rows or in masses in beds. When the plants are about a foot high the tops should be pinched out to induce a bushy growth. They prefer a rather light, not too rich soil, but do well almost anywhere. The Autumn Giant sorts produce the finest flowers, but bloom late, and for points north of Phil- adelphia it is safer to get the extra early flowering type; the double flowering type is becoming very popular. Extra Early Colossal or Midsummer Giant Cosmos Seeds sown in the open ground April 27th produced plants that were covered with bloom July 20th, two months before the late-flowering kinds. By careful selection they now have flowers as large as the late- flowering kinds, and will undoubtedly perfect their blooms in the most northerly States. PER I OZ. PER PKT. 2085 Early Crimson.
