Zinnia, Lilliput it x 
ZINNIAS 
The most popular annuals in American gardens. They give a lavish display of color under varied 
conditions, even in the hottest, driest summers, and no flower is of easier culture. Their many forms 
bring much interest and serve every garden purpose. The dwarfs make splendid, colorful edgings and 
the giants make brilliant display beds. They are excellent for cutting. All like warm rich soil and a 
sunny location. Sow the seed outdoors after warm weather, and thin the plants out to allow room. 
For bedding plants start seed in March indoors, giving bottom heat to get good germination.
