Dous ie Giant ZINNIA 
e ) Sometimes called Youth and Old Age. The well known bush-like plants of Zinnias produce a profusion 
of large double imbricated flowers, borne on stiff stems. They are much used for bedding and are 
innla 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 when 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 goodrich 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. Start under glass 
for earlier blooming. Half hardy annual; tall growing, usually about one and one-half to two feet high. 
s An improved strain which produces immense double flowers 3 to 4 inches in diameter in an extremely 
Giant Double wide range of colors. The plants are hardy, of very vigorous growth, often 3 feet high, and remain in 
bloom from early summer until killed by severe frost. (See further description on page 9.)
