hardy. A gem for rock gardening. Keep flowers 
cut to promote continuous bloom.

ZINNIA □ 
(Normal germination, 5-10 days) 
John Godfrey Zinn, a German, in 1757 published 
a “Catalogue of the Plants in the Garden of Got¬ 
tingen” listing this plant for the first time any¬ 
where, and.giving it his name. 
More than a century ago, the forebears of the 
present Landreths commercially introduced the 
Zinnia from Mexico, where it grew in a wild-state. 
Its development has been marked since then. Our 
strain is California grown, and is unsurpassed. 
Blooms from July to frost. Seeds can be planted 
in the open, or young plants transplanted if desired. 
Dwarf varieties should stand about one foot apart, 
and tall varieties double this distance. Will grow 
anywhere and stand any amount of rough treatment, 
and is immune from disease. Very ornamental and 
satisfactory as a cut flower. Plant in July to get the 
largest and best flowers.
