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.

 bearing on long strong stems numerous semi-globular, mostly 

 very double flowers, all of the largest size, making them of great
