Don’s Choice Zinnias 
The Zinnias are among the most brilliant, showy and satisfactory annuals and have long been gen¬ 
eral favorites, not only for garden decoration, but also for cutting. The seed may be sown early in the 
hotbed or light window and transplanted, or sown later in the open ground. They come into flower early 
in the summer and keep on blooming until frost. 
Double Dahlia-Flowered 
The plants are of strong, vigorous habit, fully 
3 feet high, producing mammoth flowers aver¬ 
aging 6 inches across by 3 to 4 inches in depth. The 
range of colors includes many unusual tones, as the 
result of continued careful selection.
