Z INNIA iS (hA). Are one of the most satisfac- 
tory flowers to grow through the 
summer, as being a native of Mexico, it thrives 
in even the hottest weather if given plenty of 
fertilizer and a moderate amount of water. For 
best results, provide a rich, deep soil and give 
water when needed. Application of a complete 
fertilizer at 3 or 4 week intervals helps produce 
larger, more perfect flowers. Sow seeds indoors 
in flats, or they may be started in the open at the 
same time as other hardy annuals. Giant types 
should be no closer than 18 inches apart; this 
allows free branching and sturdy plant develop- 
ment. All types blossom from early summer 
until hard frost. Grouping—Makes a fine effect 
in mass plantings, grouping together varieties 
that harmonize in color; in the mixed border 
combine with Anchusa, deep-blue Delphinium, 
blue Cornflower, Salpiglossis, African Marigold.

appearance, composed of a mass of shaggy, ray- 
like petals, which give a delicate, graceful

2% to 3 inches in diameter. Mixed.

Dahlia Flowered are strong and robust, grow- 
ing about 3 feet tall and bear many long stems 
of showy, double, huge flowers. This type is 
preferred for general garden use, producing a 
very brilliant mass of color, in bright, intense 
shades. The flowers are more or less cup- 
shaped in appearance; the petals, instead of 
lying flat upon each other, are incurved, pro- 
ducing an upstanding, stiff, somewhat coarse 
flower. Flowers are from 4 to 5 inches in diam- 
eter. We offer the following varieties: Exqui- 
site, light rose; Golden State, golden yellow; 
Crimson Monarch, deep crimson; Dream, rosy

Lilliput or Pompon Zinnia is among the most 
popular for cut flower and border use. The 
flowers are small, compact and symmetrical in 
shape. 1 to 14% inches in diameter, borne in 
great quantities on neat, compact growing plants 
which usually reach a height of from 12 to 15 
inches. If you have room for two rows of Zinnias, 
sow the seeds of the Dahlia Flowered in the 
background and Lilliput Pompon in the front 
row. This makes an effective combination and 
will give a greater variety of flowers for cutting 
purposes. We offer the following varieties: 
Salmon Rose; Canary Yellow; Scarlet Gem: 
Golden Gem; Lilac Gem; White Gem: Mixed.

dwarf type Zinnia yet developed. The sturdy

and are literally covered with blooms through- 
out the entire summer. A wide range of striking- 
ly different colors make them outstanding in any 
flower bed. All sorts of reds, yellows and 
oranges blended with maroon, mahogany, rust 
or white. Every individual blossom is an inter- 
esting study in itself. Mixed. Packet, 10c. 
Elegans Dwarf Zinnia is not a new type but 
not generally known by most gardeners. The 
variety is excellent for border use and can be 
used most effectively in a solid bed where a lot 
of color is desired in low growing plants. These 
Zinnias bloom from early summer until late fall 
and are fine for cut flowers. Mixed.
