DREER'S CHOICE ZINNIAS 



(Youth and Old Age) 



The Zinnia is one of the most brQliant, 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 frost. The varieties 

 offered below and on page 57, 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 ro- 

 bust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet and 

 bearing on long strong stems semi-globular, mostly 

 very double flowers, grown under favorable conditions 

 they remain in bloom from early summer to late autumn. 



Large-flowering 



Dwarf Double Zinnia 



Salmon-rose 



Dreer's Large-flowering 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 in the country.
