Zinnia 



(Periwinkle) These very attractive bushy plants with glossy green foliage produce in abundance handsome 

 round or salver shaped single flowers, suitable either for culture in pots or boxes or for summer bedding 

 and borders. If sown early under glass and transplanted in a warm, sheltered situation will bloom in 

 summer and autumn and may be potted for the house before frost. The plants require no trimming, are in 

 continuous bloom from setting out until frost and are entirely free from the attacks of insects. These desirable features ac- 

 count for the increasing demand for Vincas in parks and private grounds for summer bedding and borders. Tender perennial, 

 blooming the first season, about fifteen inches high.

 shaped and are borne in long, drooping grape-like 

 clusters, often over a foot in length. Foliage light 

 green, pinnate. The seed should be sown in 

 mellow loam early in the spring, or in green- 

 house or hotbed in winter and when plants are

WOOLFLOWER {See Celosia Childsi) 



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 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 fiower 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. 



GA r\ LI ^'^ improved strain which 

 lant UOUble produces immense double 

 flowers 3 ta 4 inches in diameter in an extremely 

 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.
