Mixture 



This is a mixture which will give great pleasure to all who 

 try it for waste corners and patches, and with a little or no 

 care will procure a pleasing effect in places that would other- 

 wise be nothing but a collection of unsightly weeds. This mix- 

 ture is ideal for the Children's Garden. Why not put aside a 

 little patch of ground for every one of your children; show 

 them how to spade and rake the bed smoothly, then early in 

 May sow the seeds broadcast over the bed, and cover about 

 one-half inch with fine sifted soil? Make the children a present 

 of a package of seed and a watering pot and teach them to 

 water when necessary. Do not thin out the plants and they 

 will have a grand displaj^ of flowers the entire summer. If you 

 have no children, try a patch yourself. Pkt. 10c. Vz Oz. 25c.

One of the most popular aimuals for beds, 

 mixed borders and cutting purposes. The zinnia 

 blooms constantly from July until frost and does 

 well in most an}' soil. To secure the largest flowers 

 and a profusion of bloom, the plants must be given 

 plenty of room for full development and an abun- 

 dance of plant food. 



Giant Dahlia Flowered Zinnia 



The latest development in Zinnias. This type 

 was awarded the Gold Medal and the Award of 

 ^lerit by the Royal Horticultural Society of 

 England, at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, 

 England, in June, 1924. It took seven years of 

 painstaking care and selection to produce this tj'pe 

 of Zinnia, but it is now recognized the world over 

 as being the largest and most beautiful Zinnia. 

 The Dahlia Flowered Zinnia is a good forcer and 

 money maker for florists. The variety Polar Bear 

 is used as a bunching flower for Mother's Day, 

 while Old Rose, Oriole, Crimson Monarch, Ex- 

 quisite, Canary Bird and Scarlet Flame are recom- 

 mended to force as desirable colors for florists for 

 early spring trade. The plants are sturdy and the 

 flowers, often measuring 6 inches in diameter and 

 4 inches in depth, closely resemble the Show 

 Dahlia.
