COSnOS. This is one of our most useful and beautiful
autumn flowers. To get it in bloom early, the seed
should be sown in May in the open ground where the
plants are desired to bloom, and the seedlings allowed
to grow and flower without being transplanted.
3032 Farquhar's Early=Flowering Hybrids. The
earliest strain of Cosmos in existence, if sown in May
in the open ground, it usually blooms by the first or
second week in July. The colors include pure white
shades of lilac, rose and ciimson. Our seed is grown in
Massachusetts and has frequently ripened and been
gathered before the ordinary Cosmos had begun to
bloom. Finest mixed . . * * • 10

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
