Burpee’s Famous Zinnias 
The value of Zinnias as garden and cut flowers cannot be 
stressed too highly. Their ease of culture, long blooming 
season, together with their wide range of color and varied 
flower forms, make them one of the most popular of all 
annual flowers. They are one of our leading specialties. 
Zinnias are heavy feeders, and while they will grow in poor 
soil and under unfavorable conditions, they must have rich, 
well-fertilized soil and be watered freely during periods of 
dry weather if the finest flowers are wanted. Plant in 
full sun; they will not do well in the shade or near 
trees. Zinnias are hot weather flowers, coming into 
their full beauty in midsummer and continuing until 
fall. Flowers last for days when cut. 
.After the soil has become thoroughly warm, sow seed 
in the open ground where plants are to* bloom. Thin 
out large flowered varieties to stand 2 h. apart, 
smaller flowered types, 1 ft. Zinnias will bloom in 
about two months. All are easy to grow.
