Mixture 
Under this heading we offer a mix¬ 
ture of the easiest and surest grow¬ 
ing annual kinds that can be sown 
broadcast, and with little or no care 
will produce a bright effect in places 
that would otherwise be nothing but 
a collection of unsightly weeds, and 
furnishing an abundance of flowers 
for cutting. In sowing this seed 
broadcast, it is advisable to rake 
the surface of the place intended 
to be sown with a sharp toothed 
rake. Pkt. 5c.

Zinnias 
Zinnias are a hardy annual; one of 
the most desirable and lovely flowers 
in the garden. The Zinnia is an old 
time garden flower and the new and 
improved types of these Giant Zinnias 
are deserving of more space and atten¬ 
tion. Zinnias are not subject to any 
of the common diseases or insect pests 
which so often destroy other flowers 
in the garden. They grow well in par¬ 
tial shade but like most flowers do best 
in a sunny location. The seed may 
be planted in the garden from May 
1st to June 1st, and when the plants 
are two or three inches high they 
should be thinned out to twelve or fif¬ 
teen inches apart. If earlier blooms 
are wanted the seed may be started 
indoors and transplanted to the open 
garden from May 15th to June 1st. 
Flower from early summer until fall.
