(A) 



In almost every popularity vote of annual ilowers taken in recent years, the 

 Zinnia has invariably headed the list. This popularity is indeed deserved, 

 because there are few flowers that are more satisfactory. They grow in 

 practically all soils and develop into flowering plants in about eight weeks' 

 time. They are obtainable in a great diversity of forms, from the dainty single 

 Linearis type and the semi-double Scabious Flowered, to every conceivable 

 form of double flowers, ranging from the diminutive low growing Haageana, 

 with miniature blossoms about % inch in diameter to the Majestic Giant Dahlia 

 Flowered, with flowers 4 to 5 inches across. Although they gTow and flower 

 in poor soil, for best results they should be planted in a well-prepared soil 

 enriched with Henderson's Garden Fertilizer. For early flowers, start seed 

 indoors in March or April, or sow directly in the garden about (he middle oi May.
