Dreer's Special Strain 



Giant Double Zinnias 



Only a few years aeo. the Zinnia was considered rather 

 commonplace, but largely as the result of careful hybridizing 

 and selecting the colors as well as the size and form of the 

 flowers have been so wonderfully improved that they 

 have become one of the most popular annuals. The 

 special strain here offered produces flowers of 

 colossal size, specimens measuring from 5 to 6 

 inches across being not unusual. Plants are of 

 extremely robust habit, attaining a height of about 

 3 feet and bearing on long strong stems semi- 

 globular, mostly very double flowers; grown under 

 favorable conditions they remain in bloom from 

 early summer to late autumn.
