ZINNIA [hA] Zinnias are particularly adapted to our hot American summers. 

 They like rich, well-fertilized soil and a moderate amount of water. Such 

 growing conditions will produce lusty, robust plants and gorgeous flowers. 

 Zinnias bloom for many weeks. 



The several classes we offer fill many needs in the garden, last for days as 

 cut flowers, and are of choice quality. 



Double Dahlia Flowered [2J^ ft.] Enormous flowers. The petals are quite 

 loose and tend to curl at the edges, giving the blossoms a crisp, fresh appear- 

 ance. Although the type is still unstable, most of the flowers are beautifully 

 double. All improved strains.
