ZINNIA EARLY WONDER 
A new race of early flowering dwarf growing Zinnias. 
The plants are 18 inches tall, flowers of medium size, the type 
of double pumila Zinnia borne on long stems, ideal for cutting. 
The branches of the plant do not carry the amount of foliage 
usual in Zinnias. In this respect Early Wonder Zinnia is 
markedly different. You see lots of bloom, but a small amount 
of leaves. A bed of this Zinnia is very telling, a mass of 
beauty. Will be found a highly paying greenhouse crop as it 
occupies very little space, produces a big crop of flowers and 
is ready to cut six weeks after sowing. You will get double 
the amount of flowers from the same amount of space and in 
half the length of time that would be required if another type 
of Zinnia was planted. There are so far only one color to be 
had. FIERY SALMON-RED. T. pkt, 10c; Ya oz. 25c; 1 oz. 
$1.60. 
DAMPING OFF —This results from lack of ventilation. 
In all closed rooms there accumulates gas heavier than air 
called carbon dioxide. To prevent damping off, ventilate. 
In the greenhouse never place flats with seedlings on the bare 
ground, keep them on supports 6-12 inches high so that they 
will be above the carbon dioxide layer. 
WET SOIL —Never put seed into wet soil. See to it that 
your flats and benches are well drained. In tight flats and 
benches the water cannot run off quickly, all the air in the 
soil is forced out, seeds suffocate and do NOT “come” up.
