ZINNIAS 
of Improved Strains 
249 Zinnias, All American Giants Mixed. A 
selection of our own. The individual flowers 
often are from 4 to 5 inches across, are of re- 
markable substance and are borne on long, 
strong, wiry stems. The strain, in our opin- 
ion, is superior to the Dahlia-flowered and 
‘the Giants of California. The flowers are 
larger, more densely made up, and of perfect 
form, while the colors are bright and more 
abundant. It should prove a very remarkable 
Zinnia for those desiring a real excellent 
strain for the growing of cut flowers. Special 
size Pkt. 25c; oz. $1.50.

Some of the common kinds of flowers that should 
be planted only in the cool months because the 
seeds respond better when soil temperatures are 
low include larkspur, delphinium, anemone, ranun- 
culus, nemophila, nasturtium and California Wild- 
flowers. Seeds that perform more satisfactorily if 
they are put in the ground after soil temperatures © 
become warm are zinnia, petunia, asters, marigold, 
stocks, snapdragons, salpiglossis and sunflower.
