GIANT FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
Most gorgeous of annuals with a wonderful range of color. 
Extremely double flowers with long stems and good keep- 
ing qualities, make this old fashioned flower a joy in the 
garden. Planted everywhere—in all civilized countries 
on the globe — Zinnias are the most universally grown 
plant of all the annuals. Being hardy, easy to grow, 
doing well most anywhere Zinnias and dahlias are the 
‘poor man’s standbys.’ The modern zinnias are a 
remarkable improvement over the old-fashioned sorts 
once known as “‘Youth and Old Age” because the range 
of delicate as well as the rich colors is wider, the blooms 
are bigger—more handsome—more refined in form. If 
grown in sunny spot in well fertilized soil and watered 
the flowers will be more completely double. To grow 
extra large zinnias, thin so the plants are twelve to 
fifteen inches apart in the row and rows three feet apart 
for the giant and two feet apart for the small varieties.
