McCullough's Zinnias for Every Purpose 
Few, if any, annuals have greater utility value than that of 
ilie Zinnia. Many distinct types have been developed, some 
bearing flowers of enormous size and others producing minia¬ 
ture double blooms in profusion. For early flowers sow seed 
indoors in March and transplant seedlings to the garden in 
early May, or, if preferred, sow seed in open ground in April. 
Siiace the large flowering and taller sorts from 1% to 2 feet 
apart; Pompon or Idlliput types 8 to 12 inches apart.
