Wood’s Giant Zinnias 
F EW garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since 
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains 
have been developed. Tor bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a 
wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the fall. Plant early in rows 1*4 to 2 
feet apart and cover the seeds about V4 inch deep; or start indoors and transplant out¬ 
side when the ground is warm. Hardy annual.

ers. Allow each plant 12 to 15 inches to have 
the largest blooms.
