Burpee’s Famous Zinnias 
The value of Zinnias as garden and cut-flowers cannot bcl 
stressed too highly. Their long blooming season, which 
extends from early summer until fall, together with theii 
wide range of color and varied flower forms, makes them one 
of the most popular of all annual flowers. 
Zinnias are heavy feeders, and, while they will grow in pool 
soil and under unfavorable conditions, they must have rich 
well-fertilized soil and be watered freely during periods of dr; 
weather if the finest flowers are wanted. Do not plant it 
shade or near trees. Zinnias are hot weather flowers, comin; 
into their full beauty in midsummer and continuing unti 
fall. Plant in full sun. 
After the soil has become thoroughly warm, sow seed in th> 
open ground where plants are to bloom. Thin out large 
flowered varieties to stand 2 ft. apart, smaller floweret 
types, 1 ft. Will bloom in about 2 months.
