Henderson’s Famous Zinnias 
The Zinnia was introduced into cultivation as early as 1860 and are old 
garden favorites but the flowers then produced were very different from 
those now being evolved by the hybi idist and experimental flower grower. 
_During the past few years there has been a great revival of interest in the 
Zinnia flower, and quantities of all varieties are now to be seen displayed in the 
windows of the fashionable florists of New York and all our large cities. 
There are of course many varieties of diverse forms and various colors but 
those we have chosen to illustrate in colors are the best and most desirable. 
They all bear an abundance of bloom and are especially valuable because 
they give to the garden a wealth of color, at a time when other flowers and 
plants are beginning to fade away, such are their lasting qualities.

Zinnia, Henderson’s New Giant 
(Zinnia Elegans Robusta Plenissima) 
These grand annuals are of the Giant or Mammoth-flowering type and 
are in every way superior to the old-fashioned ‘‘Youth and Old Age.” Zin- 
nias are now very much in evidence in flower gardens throughout the country, 
primarily because they will grow and flourish under unfavorable conditions. 
Given a fair soil, they will bloom continuously from July until frost. — 
The plants grow from 2'%4 to 3 feet high and are covered with myriads 
of densely double flowers measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. Giant 
Zinnias are one Of the best plants for beds, borders and cutting. (See
