WALTER S. SCHELL-S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
Schell's Mew 
Double Giant Zinnias 
The Largest-flowering, Brightest 
Colored Strain of this Popular 
Flower Ever Introduced 
This illustration, for lack of space, shows the 
flowers in only about one-half their natural size. 
They are naturally enormous in size and when 
grown in good soil, with proper cultivation, they 
will average 5 inches in diameter. 
These glorious flowers are borne on strong, 
stiff stems, making them of the greatest value 
as cut-flowers for vasing, and in the flower-garden 
they stand perfectly erect, showing them in 
all their beauty. 
The flowers are not only of immense 
size but of extraordinary beauty because 
of their intensely bright rich colors, in- 
cluding every shade of pink, crimson, 
yellow, maroon, etc., with the tips of the 
petals distinctly marked. They are truly 
wonderful and must be seen to be 
appreciated. I urge you, if you love 
flowers or grow them for profit, to grow 
Schell's New Double Giant Zinnias and 
you will see something surprisingly new 
in size and beauty in this new strain I 
am offering you. 
The Zinnia has always been a great 
favorite because it is so easy to grow and 
blooms from midsummer until frost. By 
starting the seed indoors in boxes, or in 
hotbeds or greenhouse in March, and trans- 
planting out carefully in May, without 
disturbing the roots any more than necessary, 
they will start blooming in June and continue 
until killed by November frosts. By sowing 
the seed out in the garden or seed-bed in 
last of April or May, when the soil is warm, 
and transplanting when 3 to 4 inches high 
to where you want them to bloom, they 
should start flowering in July. I know of no 
other flower so easy to grow, never failing to give ' 
a mass of blooms. The plants, averaging about 
two and a half feet high, covered with their bril- 
liant flowers, are very effective when bedded with 
others, as borders, or planted in clusters. If you 
want to brighten up around your home, plant 
these large-flowering, bright-colored Zinnias. 
By all means include Schell's New Double Giant 
Zinnias in your order
