ZINNIA 
Few flowers are so easily grown from seed or 
bloom so abundantly and continuously as this 
hardy annual. Sow the seed in the open ground 
early in spring. From July until the first hard 
frost Zinnias are incomparably bright; the plants 
grow a foot or more in height and are covered 
with large, double flowers. Fine for beds and 
borders; in fact, in any location.
