T HE Zinnia has, perhaps, gained more steadily in popularity than 
any of our annuals because of the interest taken in it by plant- 
breeders who have tried to excel one another in improving ex¬ 
isting forms and bringing new ones each year to the attention of the 
flower-lover. We are offering some of the newer forms which will 
soon, we feel sure, become popular in your gardens. Few, if any, of 
the annuals have greater utility value. In the mixed border they may 
be had in bloom from early summer until cut down by frost, and they 
are splendid also when used as a cut-flower for house decoration. 
In order to get best results, seed should be sown either indoors in 
a sunny window and the plants transplanted to the garden early in 
May, or started outdoors and plants transplanted later. Leave at 
i least 2 feet between plants as they are robust growers and need 
I sufficient space to attain maximum development.
