Annual—Culture “A”—Blooms May to frost. 
The value of the Zinnia as a garden or cut flower cannot be stressed 
too highly. It is one of the most popular annuals with garden lovers, 
and can be had from the picturesque miniature variety, less than one 
inch in diameter, to the stately Giant type, which often measures 5 to 
6 inches across. Zinnias thrive in any good rich garden soil where 
they get a few hours of sun each day—and come in many types with 
a wide range of color.
