Plant two feet apart in rows and the rows three to four feet apart. Lovers of flowers realize their success much depends on forethought, fore- sight and good judgement. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONT. ' Now we come to a point when the flowering season is a consideration. The first “Crested” variety undoubt- edly originated from the late single flowering kind, consequently they were too late to flower during our short season before the frost cut them down. So it is quite evident they were not properly balanced, pro- ducing far too much plant, and few, if any flowers. Then the Hybridists turned their attention to the “single extra early” flowering variety with a most successful result. So it is now possible to have bloom from the end of June right up to the frosts. In this particular class we have them “Full Double" with perfect petals but the plants vary very much and need good treatment. Theâ€"new hybrids are very poor seed producers and it will be some time before they are fixed so that we can depend upon them, in the way of standard varieties. But on the other hand each gener- ation of generated stock seed is bound to produce some real beauties if the proper line of order is followed, to obtain glorified, solitary flowers. ‘ Culture For early flowers start seed in the hot bed (separate from other seed- lings) because these germinate very quickly, transplant them often shak- ing the soil entirely from the roots eac litime, this helps to make them sturdy plants, plant deeper each time -(shading closely) put outside when all danger of frost is past. Double Cosmos And Why Double I ale this question “Why we have always had single ones?" Because single varieties are the dominants, and in this form and way it is carried out Dame Nature’s way of perpetuatâ€" ing the species, the one grand princi- ple of the Universe. Cosmos mean, “The Universe.” The system of or- der and harmony in creation. So in creating double flowers we produce 1more petals and reduce the seed bear- ing ovules, they sometimes being en- tirely absent this being due to the change in the proto plasm through functioning in one particular direc- tion. The first break away from the single type was introduced in England in 1917 and I obtained a small quan- tity of seed from the originator. The same year I sowed the seed very early and got plants to ,grow nine feet high but no ilowershand each year was just a repetition of the for- mer until 1927 and that year I got one really good plant and fairly good flowers. Luckily I had a specially good type of single variety, so by cross fertilization I was enabled to ex- periment in the various way that i de- sired. Another interesting thing to be noted about the Cosmos is the lim- ited number of colors in the single varieties, but now we have got the double ones we get bi-colors and com- bination which proves they have a tendency not only to separate in form but also in color, so this really opens up a way and means of introducing new shades and many improvements" both in color, substance, size and form. Now we will discuss the placing and form of Casmos as we have them at the present time. I venture to say we Will be able to produce them comâ€" paring well with outdoor Chrysanthe- mums for substance and lasting qual- ities. Why I predict this possibly is because we have already got the crown bud and stem lead. And ag- ain we will have them in umbel form miniature single and double so we have many treats to look forward to.
