The Zinnia is one of the most 

 brilliant and showy of annuals, and 

 has long been a general favorite. 

 The seed can be sown early in the 

 hotbed and transplanted, or sown 

 later in the open ground. They come 

 into flower early in the summer, and 

 if the flowers are kept cut they keep 

 on blooming until hard frost.
