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.
