In almost every popularity vote of annual flowers 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, to every conceivable form of double flowers, ranging from the 

 diminutive low growing Dwarf Mexican, with miniature blossoms about 3/4 inch 

 in diameter to the Majestic Giant Dahlia^ Flowered, with flowers 4 to 5 inches 

 across. Although they grow 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 the middle of May.

FANTASY ZINNIAS 



The strikingly attractive, shaggy-petaled flow-

 stems. Picking the blooms freely causes the plants 

 to branch and increases the production of flowers, 

 and those forming at an angle hold that position 

 without drooping.

 of the golden yellow flowers make it an ideal 

 cut flower for table arrangements, etc.

 tasy Zinnia that is exceptional for its artistic 

 formation.
