HASTINGS’ SUMMER AND FALL CATALOG 
Many of the most popular and satisfactory flowers, vegetables and fleld crops are planted in the late summer and fall throughout 
the Southern States and we issue a beautiful Summer and Fall Catalog about August first, listing all of our flower seeds, fall 
bulbs, vegetable seeds, grasses, fall grains, clovers and open ground grown hardy rose bushes that do well or best when planted 
from August until Christmas. Only about half of our customers order from us in the fall but this number has greatly increased 
during the past several years and we hope before many more years that all of our friends and patrons will take advantage of our 
natural conditions in the South. A real fall garden is just about as necessary as a real spring garden and there is not a month 
in the entire year that we cannot gather something fresh to eat from our rightly tended gardens. 
Dutch, French and Chinese bulbs, planted in November give the most brilliant blooms of the early spring and fragrance and 
beauty in the house during the winter. Tulips, Narcissi, Hyacinths, Crocus, Freesias and Chinese Sacred Lilies, all bloom freely 
and certainly are a delightful and happy sight in and around the homes. 
Grasses, lawn and pasture, clovers and small grains, all do best in the South when planted in the fall. Now is the time to 
order for spring plantings but don’t forget the fall plantings. We shall be glad to send you our fall catalog on request next August. 
HASTINGS’ MONSTER ZINNIAS 
Zinnias are most popular because they bloom with greatest 
profusion from spring until killed by winter frosts, even with 
practically no cultivation. The colors are of many very bril- 
liant colors and a great mass of blooms is surprisingly beauti- 
ful around any home. They make delightful beds and our im- 
proved types of these old-fashioned flowers make hospitable 
looking, pleasing and attractive homes. 
We have two types of Zinnias. Our tall and half dwarf 
double, as illustrated to the right, are the delicate shaded type 
that almost cover the entire plants with a blanket of blooms 
throughout the summer. The flowers are smaller than our 
Dlonster or Giant White, Yellow and Scarlet Zinnias but they 
make most pleasing dense beds or borders, are very easily 
grown and are sure to delight you. 
Our Monster, in the three colors below are simply grand. 
They are rich and brilliant and make not only the grandest 
beds and borders but rank with the finest chrysanthemums as 
cut flowers. They are profuse bloomers, rank growers and lit- 
erally cover the bushes with huge, fully double flowers 4 to 5 
inches across. We believe anyone who passed through the 
Hastings’ Plantation last summer can tell you truthfully that 
these big display Zinnias made the most bifilliant and pleasing 
color array ever seen. Plant a few of these Monster Zinnias 
and you will be delighted.
