Giant Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnia. 
ZINNIAS (Annual) 
Gorgeous and showy in the garden, and unexcelled for cutting, Zinnias hloom from early 
summer until destroyed by frosts. For a brilliant color display they should be grown in 
large beds and masses. The plants are sturdy, bushy and well branched, and entirely free 
from insects and fungus. 
Culture— Zinnias are not particular as to soil, but prefer a sunny location and plenty of moisture. 
When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, they should be thinned out to. stand 12-15 inches apart. 
If allowed ample room for proper development the dowers will be more completely double.

The flowers are of enormous size, often measuring 4 inches in depth and 6 to 8 inches 
in diameter. The petals are broad and closely imbricated, giving the flower a massive ap¬ 
pearance. Plants grow 3 to 4 feet high.
