Wood's Giant Zinnias 
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains 
Fi: garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since 
have been developed. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a 
wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the fall. Plant early in rows 11% to 2 feet 
apart and cover about 1% inch deep; or start indoors and transplant outside when the 
ground is warm. Hardy annual. 
1286. Super Crown o’ Gold 
—The most outstanding large flowered 
zinnia since Dahlia Flowered was intro- 
duced. The flowers are exceedingly showy, 
5 or more inches across. Our strain con- 
tains a wide range of pastel shades, in- 
eluding soft yellow, old gold, light pink, 
apricot pink, various shades of salmon, 
peach and buff as well as cream and pure 
white. Each petal is overlaid at the base 
with a deep golden yellow while carrying 
out the individual flower color at the tip.
