flowered and other types of Zinnias. No other annual can take the place of Zinnias, with their 
brilliant flowers of massive size. They have become a general favorite. Zinnias withstand lots of heat, 
thriving best in a sunny location. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a wealth 
of blooms from early summer till late in the fall.
