 grsipe-like clusters, often over a foot in length. Foliage light green, pinnate. The seed should be sown in mellow loam early

WOOLFLOWER (See Celosia Childsi) 



Z« • Sometimes called Yoiith and Old Age. The well known bush-like plants of Zinnias produce a pro- 



« «^ yr^ « ^ fusion of large double imbricated flowers, borne on stiff stems. They are much used for bedding and 

 Ji ^^ J^^ ^ ^L 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 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 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. Start under glass 

 for earlier blooming. Half hardy annual; tall growing, usually^about one and one-half to two feet high. 



C *■ T\ Ul ^^ improved strain which produces immense double flowers 3 to 4 inches in diameter in an extremely 

 Volant L/OUDie 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.
