WOOD’S 
Giant Zinnias 
(Youth and Old Age) 
F EW garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since 
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains 
have been developed. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a 
wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the fall. Plant early in rows IV 2 to 2 
feet apart and cover the seeds about Vi inch deep; or start indoors and transplant out¬ 
side when the ground is warm. Hardy annual. 
DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
—This latest development in zinnias is 
a close rival of the dahlia. The blooms 
are often more than 5 inches across, 3 to 
4 inches deep, the broad petals piled one 
upon the other, giving the flower the 
appearance of a fine decorative dahlia.
