Fantasy, Mixed Zinnia 
VERBENA (HO 12 in.) 
A favorite bedding plant that may be perennial in the South 
but is best treated as an annual. Blooms in a short while from 
seed and may be sowed outdoors in the early spring. It will 
stand either full sun or partial shade and grows on almost any 
soil. Blooms all summer and makes a good plant for pots and 
window boxes.

ZINNIA (HO 3 ft.) 
For years we have prided ourselves upon our strains of 
Zinnias. After careful breeding, we are now able to offer some 
of the finest varieties of Zinnias ever known in the flower world. 
The Double Dahlia Flowered varieties offered below are the 
last word in Zinnias. These enormous flowers often measure 
six inches across and compare favorably to the best of the 
dahlias in every respect. Any gardener may well be proud of a 
bed of these. Then we have the Giant Double, which is a very 
superior strain of perfect flowers. For best results with Zinnias, 
sow them in a light rich soil as soon as the ground gets warm 
in the spring. Thin them to stand twelve inches apart and 
cultivate. Keep the flowers cut and they will bloom for a long 
time. Later sowing may be made in July.
