ee’s Famous Zinnias 
The value of zinnias as garden and cut flowers cannot be stressed too highly. 
Their ease of culture, long blooming season, together with their wide range 
of color and varied flower forms, make them one of the most popular of all 
annual flowers. They last for days when cut; we offer a selection of differ- 
ent size flowers and colors for every purpose. All the different types 
are easy to grow if the following simple suggestions are followed. 
Zinnias are heavy feeders, and while they will grow in poor soil 
and under unfavorable conditions, they must have rich, well- 
fertilized soil and be watered freely during periods of dry 
weather if the finest flowers are wanted. Plant in full sun; ~ 
they will not do well in [the shade or near trees. Zinnias 
are hot weather flowers, coming into their full beauty 
in midsummer and continuing to bloom until fall.
