Dreer's Glorious 



Zinnias are the most favorite of all annual flowers grown in American gardens. This 

 is not to be wondered at if one considers their beautj' and usefulness. They include an 

 e.xceptionaUy wide range of colors— some of them brilliant and rich, others soft and 

 mellow. Again others represent the highly valued pastel colors. Much of their 

 popularity is due to their ease of culture.
