The value of the Zinnia as a garden or cut flower cannot be 
stressed too highly. It is one of the most popular annuals with 
garden lovers, and can be had from the picturesque miniature 
variety, less than one inch in diameter, to the stately Giant type, 
which often measures 5 to 6 inches across. Zinnias thrive in any 
good rich garden soil where they get a few hours of sun each day— 
and come in many types with a wide range of color.
