ZINNIAS (Annual) 
Gorgeous and showy in the garden, and unexcelled for cutting. Zinnias bloom from 
early summer until destroyed by frosts. For a brilliant color display they should be 
grown in large beds and masses. The plants are sturdy, bushy and well branched, and 
entirely free from insects and fungi. 
' CULTURE—Zinnias are not particular as to soil, but prefer a sunny location and plenty 
of moisture. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, they should be thinned out to stand 
12-15 inches apart. If allowed ample room for proper development the dowers will be 
more completely . double.

inches in diameter. The petals are broad and closely imbricated, giving the flower 
a massive appearance. Plants grow 3 to 4 feet high.
