Wood's Giant Zinnias 
F EW garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since 
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains 
have been developed. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a) 
wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the falL Plant early in rows 114 to 2 feet 
apart and cover about 14 inch deep; or start indoors and transplant outside when the* 
ground is warm. Hardy annual.

J ered)—Each petal is 
heavily tipped white, cream white or yel¬

nations of these colors. Bears quantities

to golden orange as the flower ages. 8 to 
10 inches tall and, if given plenty of room
