Wood's Giant Zinnias 
EW garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since 
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains 
have been developed. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a) 
wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the fall. Plant early in rows 114 to 2 feet 
apart and cover about 144 inch deep; or start indoors and transplant outside when the 
ground is warm. Hardy annual.
