Maule's Zinnias 



- Youth and Old Age 



A garden without Zinnias is incomplete. Their 

 beautiful flowers, whioh come in both rich colors 

 and lovely light shades, and in various sizes and 

 types on tall and dwarf plants, make them 

 adaptable for many purposes. Used either for 

 a bold color effect in the border or for bedding, 

 they never fail to elicit admiration. In addition 

 to this, the individual flowers last exceptionally 

 long though new ones unfold as long as the 

 growing season lasts. The dwarf varieties are 

 unexcelled for borders or small beds. The tall 

 large-flowered ones give showy beds planted 

 either alone or in the massed border. Zinnias 

 begin to bloom early in summer and continue 

 to flower until frost, requiring little attention 

 and succeeding in any open, sunny location. 

 For best results, sow outdoors where to bloom 

 when danger of heavy frost is past, later thin- 

 ning to stand 1 to 2 ft. apart, depending on 

 whether dwarf or tall types are used.

 assortment of fine colors, particularly shades of 

 pink, yellow, orange, rose, etc. Nearly all of the 

 flowers are attractively tipped or edged with a 

 contrasting color at the end of each individual 

 petal. The light shades usually show a dark 

 edging, while the dark ones exhibit light mark- 

 ings. The tips of the petals are neatly notched

 age 2 ft. in height and bloom freely throughout 

 the summer and fall. Those who look for some- 

 thing out of the ordinary should not fail to in-
