In almost every popularity vote of annual flowers taken in recent years, the Zinnia has invariably headed the list. This popularity is indeed 

 deserved, because there are few flowers that are more satisfactory. They grow in practically all soils and develop into flowering plants in about 

 eight weeks' time. They are obtainable in a great diversity of forms, from the dainty single Linearis type and the semi-double Scabious Flowered, to 

 every conceivable form of double flowers, ranging from the diminutive low growing Haageana, with miniature blossoms about Vi inch in diameter to 

 the Majestic Giant Dahlia Flowered, with flowers 4 to 5 inches across. Although they grow and flower in poor soil, for best results they should be 

 planted in a well-prepared soil enriched with Henderson's Garden Fertilizer. For early flowers, start seed indoors in March or April, or sow directly in 

 the garden about the middle of May.
