Gold. Medal Zinnias. « 
Every gardener grows Zinnias, because they can withstand drought, are of 
easiest culture, thrive in any soil, any condition; stand transplanting, flower 
in 40 to 60 days from time of sowing, are free from disease, are excellent 
for beds and borders, and are a very valuable cutflower. Sow seeds indoors 
for earlier flowering or outdoors after danger of frost and thin out; space 
giants 18 in. apart, others 12 in.
