ZINNIA 
Annual. No annual excels 
the Zinnia in profusion of 
bloom and no garden should 
be without them. They grow 
almost anywhere. All types 
are very beautiful. 
So many improvements have 
been made in Zinnias, that the 
modern varieties would hardly 
be recognizable by the gar¬ 
deners of thirty years ago. 
We have taken much pains 
with our Zinnia seed and be¬ 
lieve there is no finer seed ob¬ 
tainable anywhere.

“Cut and Come Again” Zinnia 
Piimila. Very early, producing fiow¬ 
ers in 40 days! In this type, many 
stalks grow up from the root, instead 
of one main stalk with many lateral 
branches, thus giving a profusion of 
fiowers with a “cut and come again” 
habit. 15 in. high, very double fiowers

stems. The more it is cut, the more it

LINEARIS 
The flowers of Zin¬ 
nia Linearis are a 
lovely shade of 
golden orange with a 
delicate lemon yel¬ 
low stripe through 
each petal, while the 
centers are dark 
brown in the young 
flowers, turning 
golden orange as the 
flower develops.

ing freely until hard 
frost, 10 inches. 
Valuable for boxes, 
borders and low beds
