Schell’s Double Giant Zinnias 
The flowers are twice the size of the illustration, averaging 5 inches in diameter 
Schell’s Double Giant Zinnias 
This illustration, for lack of space, shows the flowers in only about one-half their natural size. They are naturally 
'enormous in size and when grown in good soil, with proper cultivation, they will average 5 inches in diameter. 
These glorious flowers are borne on strong, stiff stems, making them of the greatest value as cut-flowers for 
' vasing, and in the flower-garden they stand perfectly erect, showing them in all their beauty. 
The flowers are of extraordinary beauty because of their intensely bright rich colors, Including every shade of 
pink, crimson, yellow, maroon, etc. They are truly wonderful and must be seen to be appreciated. I urge you, if 
you love flowers or grow them for profit, to grow Schell’s Double Giant Zinnias and you will see something sur¬ 
prisingly new in size and beauty in this new strain I am offering you. 
The Zinnia has always been a great favorite because it is so easy to grow and blooms from midsummer until 
frost. By starting the seed indoors in boxes, or in hotbeds or greenhouse in March, and transplanting out carefully 
in May, without disturbing the roots any more than necessary, they will start blooming in June and continue until 
killed by November frosts. By sowing the seed out in the garden or seed-bed the last of April or May, when the soil 
is warift-, and transplanting when 3 to 4 inches high to where you want them to bloom, they should start flowering 
in Jtdy. I know of no other flower so easy to grow, never failing to give a mass of blooms. The plants, averaging 
iabOttt two and a half feet high, covered with their brilliant flowers, are very effective when bedded with others, as 
^borders, or planted in clusters. If you want to brighten up around your home, plant these large-flowering, bright- 
tolored Zinnias.
