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 enjoying 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 f3ower early in the summer, 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 overlooked. 



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 robust habit, attaining a height 

 of about 3 feet and bearing on long strong stems numerous semi-globular, mostly 



very double flowers, all of the largest size, 

 making them of great value in large beds, 

 borders, etc.; grown under favorable con- 

 ditions they remain in bloom from early 

 summer to late autumn. 



We offer the most wanted colors, 

 1 separately, as well as a splendid mixture of 



many colors.
