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 

 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 hard frost. The 

 varieties offered below are the most important kinds, 

 but the sorts offered on page 117 should not be over- 

 looked. 



DREER'S SPECIAL STRAIN OF 



GIANT DOUBLE ZINNIAS 



A special strain of this grand old favorite free and 

 continuous flowering annual, which produces flowers of 

 colossal size, specimens measuring from 5 to 6 inches 

 across being not unusual. Plants are of extremely ro- 

 bust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet and 

 bearing on long strong stems numerous semi-globular, mostly 

 very double flowers, aU of the largest size, making them of 

 great value in large beds, borders, etc.; grown under favorable 

 conditions they remain in bloom from early summer to late 

 autumn. 



We offer the most wanted colors, separately, as well as a splendid 



Dreer's Improved Large -flowering

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