fZINNIAS 
Few flowers are so easily grown from seed sown, in the open 
ground or bloom so abundantly and continuously as this hardy 
annual. Marvelous improvements have been wrought in the 
newer strains. We recommend them for groups, beds, borders 
and summer hedges, where they will bloom quite freely, but 
are incomparably bright during the month of August. Sow 
seed in the open ground early in spring or start in hotbed or 
window and transplant when ground is suitably warmed. 
DAHLIA-FLOWERED 
This mammoth sized, unusual shaped and color perfected 
type has revolutionized the appearance of our annual gardens 
during the past few years. They very closely resemble the 
double decorative type Dahlias in form and in their robust 
growth. Plants get up to 3 feet in height, with 
perfect flowers often 6 inches wide by 3 and 4 
inches in depth. These range widely as to 
color, even introducing depths and tones here¬ 
tofore unknown in Zinnias. I New
