McCullough’s Zinnias for every Purpose 
Few, if any, annuals have greater utility value than that of 
the Zinnia. Many distinct types have been developed, some 
bearing flowers of enormous size and others producing minia- 
ture double blooms in profusion. For early flowers sow seed 
indoors in March and transplant seedlings to the garden in 
early May, or, if preferred, sow seed in open ground in April. 
Space the large flowering and taller sorts from 1% to 2 feet 
apart; Pompon or Lilliput types 8 to 12 inches apart. 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
The most outstanding of all Zinnias because of the wonder- 
ful range of rich colors, The flowers are immense, often mea- 
suring 5 to 6 inches across, and 3 to 4 inches in depth. They 
are borne profusely from late summer until frost. The bushes 
are 2% to 3 feet tall, of well-rounded form.
