DREER'S CHOICE ZINNIAS 



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 p^ige 63 should not be overlooked.

This we consider the best Zinnia for general use, forming 

 bushy, compact plants not over 2 feet high, and bearing large 

 perfect double flowers in good clear distinct colors. The sal- 

 man-rose variety is especially effective.
