DREER'S CHOICE ZINNIAS 



"7 ! (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- 



J-^ 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 



Hopen ground. They come into flower early in the sum- 

 ^ttjT JL "^S mer, and keep on blooming until frost. The varieties 



offered below and on page 57, are the most important 

 -^ kinds, but the sorts offered on page 117 should not be 

 \ overlooked.
