ZINNIA (HO 3 ft.) 
For years we have prided ourselves upon our strains of 
Zinnias. After careful breeding, we are now able to offer some 
of the finest varieties of Zinnias ever known in the flower world. 
The Double Dahlia Flowered varieties offered below are the 
last word in Zinnias. These enormous flowers often measure six 
inches across and compare favorably to the best of the dahlias 
in every respect. Any gardener may well be proud of a bed of 
these. Then we have the Giant Double, which is a very superior 
strain of perfect flowers. For best results with Zinnias, sow 
them in a light rich soil as soon as the ground gets warm in the 
spring. Thin them to stand twelve inches apart and cultivate. 
Keep the flowers cut and they will bloom for a long time. Later 
sowing may be made in July. 
DWARF LILLIPUT ZINNIAS 
These are becoming the most popular of all zinnias. The 
plants grow 1% to 2 ft. and bear a profusion of the small 
flowers. The colors of these are the most delicate of any zinnias 
and the form is perfect. No garden is complete without some of 
our Lilliputs which we have bred especially for Florists use.
