55INNIAS Youth and Old Age I. 



The Zinnia is one of the most brilliant and showy 

 of annuals, and has long been a general favorite. The 

 seed can be sown early in the hotbed or light window 

 and transplanted, or sown later in the open ground. 

 They come into flower early in the summer and keep 

 on blooming until hard frost.

 LARGE=FLOWERINQ DWARF. 



This we consider the best type for general use, 

 forming bushy, compact plants not over 2 feet high, 

 and bearing perfect double flowers as large as the 

 taller-growing sorts.

Double fringed. A new type, which has much to re- 

 commend it. The petals of the perfectly formed double flowers 

 are more or less deeply cut or fringed, giving them a rather more 

 graceful appearance than the usual form. The plants are of 

 compact habit, about 30 inches high, and have all the free-flow- 

 ering merits of the family. We offer three distinct colors, viz.:
