Ze • Sometimes called Youth and Old Age. The well known bush-like plants of Zinnias produce a por- 



^ _^ y^ a g^ fusion of larj^e double imbricated flow ers, borne on stiff stems. They are much used for bedding and 

 I Fl 11 1 ^t are suitable for borders and for cutting 

 ^^ There is much satisfaction in a bed of Zinnias with their twisted and recurved petalled flowers in 



many bright colors, and Avlien nearly every other flower has 

 been killed by frost this plant is still in full bloom. Few 

 flowers are more easily grown or bloom more abundantly 

 throughout the season, and the wide range of color is not 

 less remarkable than their unusual depth and richness. " 



Sow the seed early in spring, in open ground in good 

 rich soil, preferably in rows one and one-half feet apart and 

 covering about one-fourth inch deep. When the young 

 plants are one to two inches high thin to six inches apart.

 tall growing, usually about one and one-half to two feet high.
