California Giant Zinnias 
Russell-Heckle’s Zinnias 
Most gorgeous and beautiful annuals in a wide range of color. Few flowers 
are more thoroughly satisfactory than the Zinnia, particularly in recent ye*^. 
Th6 extrGinely doublG blooms with lons^ stems find Ifistin^^ QUfilitiGs mflke 
old-fashioned flower a real pleasure in the garden. Sow seed afte^anger of 
frost is over in well-fertilized beds and keep plants well watered. Thin plants 
to 12 to 16 inches in the row and have rows wide enough to work, or they 
can be used for massing. The dwarf varieties make excellent borders or beds. 
The Zinnia makes one of the most satisfactory cut flowers for vases or bowls. 
Grow them in a sunny location. Do not endeavor to have good Zinni^ and 
plant near large trees. If you sow only one annual flower, let it be Zinnia. 
Late sowings can be made up to July 15th and they will produce most b^utiful 
blossoms. Make successive sowings beginning April 16th and you will have 
beautiful flowers up to frost. Dust young plants with sulphur when buds hrst 
appear at the rate of % lb. to a square rod to avoid mildew.
