Burpee’s Famous Zinnias 
Burpee's 
Giant Mammoth 
Zinnia 
You can always count on Burpee’s Zinnias. 
They are easy to grow and will succeed almost 
anywhere. They flower profusely from mid¬ 
summer until late autumn and offer a wonder¬ 
ful variety of forms that range from the giant 
Dahlia-Flowered type to the dainty 
Lilliputs, and that meet every garden 
need for beds, borders, and cut-flowers. 
The taller types, with their luxuriant 
foliage, are excellent as a back¬ 
ground for lower growing Zin¬ 
nias or other annuals. And for 
colors, the modern Zinnias are 
a revelation. Not only do we 
have the yellows, reds, purples, 
and whites, but also various 
shades of rose, salmon, laven¬ 
der, gold, and many more. 
For the finest double flowers, 
plant in a sunny location in 
good soil, and water freely. 
Early blooms can be had by 
sowing the seed indoors about 
six weeks before outdoor plant¬ 
ing time. Regular sowings 
should be made outdoors as 
soon as the soil is dry enough to 
be worked and all danger of 
frost has passed. Thin out or 
transplant, allowing 18 to 24 
in. between the plants.
