stand the heat and drought and retain

blooms profusely and is never infested 
with insects. It will resow itself, and 
therefore does best if sown in fall.

usually are ivory white. Very desir¬ 
able for drying and winter bouquets.

Wild Garden Annual Flower 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 in¬ 
tended to be sown with a sharp 
toothed rake. Pkt. 5c, 1 oz. 15c, 2

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 at¬ 
tention. 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 1 st, and when the plants are 
two or three inches high they should 
be thinned out to twelve or fifteen 
inches apart. If earlier blooms are 
wanted the seed may be started in¬ 
doors and transplanted to the open 
garden from May 15th to June 1st. 
Flower from early summer until fall.
