ZIMIAS—The World’s Most Gorgeous Annuals 
No flower will ever replace Zinnias as the “most popular annual” in the South. When you think of the beauty ot 
Summer Blooms, your mind naturally goes to Zinnias. Youi desire for large or small blooms, soft, delicate, or bright 
dazzling shades will be fulfilled in Zinnias. 
Zinnias can be planted all during the spring and summer. Sow seed a quarter inch deep, no more, thinning out the 
young plants from 12 to 14 inches apart. Dwarf types may be allowed to remain closer. To have a succession of flowers, 
it is a good idea to make several sowings during the spring and summer.
