Burpee^s Famous Zinnias 
The value of Zinnias as garden and cut flowers cannot be 
stressed too highly. Their ease of culture, long blooming 
season, together with their wide range of color and varied 
flower forms, make them one of the most popular of all 
annual flowers. They are one of our leading specialties. 
Zinnias are heavy feeders, and while they will grow in poor 
soil and under unfavorable conditions, they must have rich, 
well-fertilized soil and b'e watered freely during periods of 
dry weather if the finest flowers are wanted. Plant in full 
sun; they will not do well in the shade or near trees. Zinnias 
are hot weather flowers, coming into their full beauty in mid¬ 
summer and continuing until fall. Flowers last for days 
when cut; different size flowers and colors for every purpose. 
After the soil has become thoroughly warm, sow seed in the 
open ground where plants are to bloom. Thin out large 
flowered varieties to stand 2 ft. apart, smaller flowered 
types, 1 ft. Zinnias will bloom in about two months. All 
the different classes of Zinnias are easy to grow.
