Exhitition LINNIAS 
Probably no flower has such an assortment of bright shades, tints and colors, and 
no bedding plant is more effective for a brilliant show than the Zinnia. It blooms from 
early summer until hard frost finally cuts it down. This old-fashioned bedding plant, 
whose popularity is being increased every year by the addition of many new and re- 
markably beautiful varieties and colors, deserves a most prominent place in your 
garden. Sow the seed early in the spring. Give the plants plenty of room. Feed 
liberally with liquid sheep or cattle manure.
