LEONARD SEED COMPANY, CHICAGO 
Double Giant Zinnia 
ZINNIAS 
This old garden favorite has been much improved and 
the fine strain of giant-flowered varieties and other re¬ 
markable new forms are taking place in our flower-gard¬ 
ens. Zinnias grow well and bloom freely even under the 
most adverse circumstances of location and weather and 
may be counted upon for a continuous show of blooms 
from July until frost. Sow the seed outdoors as soon as 
the nights are quite warm. To secure early flowers, sow 
the seed indoors the middle of March and transplant into 
the garden early in May. The giant varieties grow two to 
three feet tall and bear a profusion of mammoth size flow¬ 
ers measuring four and even five inches in diameter. 
FANTASY. Very different from other Zinnias (See back 
cover). The plants are 2 to 3 feet in height strong 
growing and free-flowering, blooming in 45 to 50 days. 
The medium-sized lacy flowers are composed of a mass 
of shaggy, ray-like petals which give a delicate, grace¬ 
ful effect. Mixed, pkt., 15c; Mi oz. t 25c.
