2innia 



A very showy plant, with large, double, imbricated 

 flowers, which, when fully expanded, might easily be mistaken for 

 dwarf dahlias. There is such satisfaction in a bed of Zinnias for 

 where 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. If any single 

 blossoms appear, the plant should be pulled up at once. Sow the 

 seed early in spring, in open ground, and transplant to one and 

 one-half feet apart, in good, rich soil. Half hardy annual; about 

 eighteen inches high.
