DreEER’s IMPROVED LARGE-FLOWERING DWARF ZINNIAS 
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. 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. The varieties offered below are the most important kinds, but the sorts offered 
on page 117 should not be overlooked.

mend 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-flowering merits of 
the family. We offer three distinct colors, viz.:
