Dreer's Improved Large -flow^ering 

 Dwarf Double Zinnias 



This we consider the best Zinnia for bedding, forming bushy, 

 compact plants not over 2 feet high, and bearing large perfect 

 double flowers in good clear distinct colors. The salmon-rose 

 variety is especially effective and is largely used in the finest gardens 



DREER'S CHOICE ZINNIAS 



(Youth and Old Age) 

 The Zinnia is one of the most brilliant, showy and satisfactory 

 of annuals, and has long been a general favorite, and are now en- 

 joying a wide popularity not only for garden decoration but also 

 for cutting. The seed can be sown early in the hotbed 

 i or light window and transplanted, or sown later in the 



open ground. They come into flower early in the sum- 

 mer, and keep on blooming until frost. The varieties 

 offered below are the most important kinds, but the 

 sorts offered on page 117 should not be overlooked.

 bust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet and 

 bearing on long strong stems numerous semi-globiilar, 

 mostly very double flowers, making them of great

 they remain in bloom from early summer to late autumn.
