Nicholson’s Colorful Zinnias for the Southland 
Without a doubt the most popular and satisfactory for Southern flower gardens. They bloom with greatest pro¬ 
fusion from spring until killed by winter frosts. These beautiful annuals are widely known, but we have added new 
types that give us the most complete list of Zinnias in the South. Every sort to suit your taste, from the small 
Lilliputs to the monster bloomers. Please let us also call your attention to the new Scabious Flowered Zinnia. 
Zinnias can be planted all during the spring and summer. Sow seed a quarter inch deep, no more, thinning out 
the young plants from 12 to 14 inches apart. Dwarf types may be allowed to remain closer. To have a succession 
of flowers, it is a good idea to make several sowings during the spring and summer.
