 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 is 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 flower 

 early in the summer, and keep on blooming until 

 frost. 



The Giant and Dahlia flowered sorts are espe- 

 cially fine although all of the varieties offered on 

 tnis and pages 109 and 110 are well worth growing.
