ZINNIA (HO 3 ft.) 
For years we have prided ourselves upon our strains of 
Zinnias. After careful breeding, we are now able to offer some 
of the finest varieties of Zinnias ever known in the flower world. 
The Double Dahlia Flowered varieties offered below are the 
last word in Zinnias. These enormous flowers often measure 
six inches across and compare favorably to the best of the 
dahlias in every respect. Any gardener may well be proud of a 
bed of these. Then we have the Giant Double. which is a very 
superior strain of perfect flowers. For best results with Zinnias, 
sow them in a light rich soil as soon as the ground gets xa 
in the spring. Thin them to stand twelve inches apart 
cultivate. Keep the flowers cut and they will bloom for a long 
time. Later sowing may be made in July. 
DWARF LILLIPUT ZINNIAS 
These are becoming the most popular of all zinnias. The 
plants grow 1% to 2 ft. and bear a profusion of the small 
flowers. The colors of these are the most delicate of any 
zinnias and the form is perfect. No garden is complete with- 
out some of our Lilliputs which we have bred especially for 
Florists use.
