from one to three feet tall, depending upon the type. Seeds should be planted indoors in March or 
sown in the open as soon as the ground is warm. T ransplant seedlings in beds or rows, spacing 
plants from one to two feet apart.

“A. S. & L.” Mammoth Double. This strain 
of zinnia will produce large, beautiful, artis¬ 
tic, well formed flowers, in a wide range of 
colors from white to purple. The plants 
are vigorous so that they respond to heavy 
fertilzation. A superb mixture. 10c
