Giant Zinnias 
The most gorgeous annuals with a wonderful range of color. Double 
flowers with long stems and good keeping qualities, make this flower 
a joy in the garden. If you plant but one annual, plant this. If given 
a sunny spot in well-fertilized soil and watered freely, the flowers 
will be more completely double, as lack of these stunts the plant and 
flowers are apt to revert to the old single type. Has no enemies, either 
insect or fungus.
