that it can be done. Here is the same kind

ZINNIAS 
These lovely annuals are the easiest of all 
to grow. A few seeds planted when the soil 
is good and warm will furnish countless 
blooms for cutting later on. There is no flower 
which has such diversity of color, as many 
different forms and is so easy to grow. 
FLORADALE SCARLET 
Burpee’s new Zinnia for 1950. This vibrant 
scarlet-red Zinnia has a new and unusually 
graceful flower form. The petals are twisted, 
ruffled and fluffed just enough that the lively 
color is softened by the sunlight glancing off 
the small recurved portions of the petals. 
They dispel all thought of the stiffness some- 
times associated with some types of Zinnias. 
The vigorous plants grow about 2% to 3 ft. 
tall. Perfect for mass plantings in the annual 
border, as bold accents in the perennial garden 
and blossoms so abundantly that there are 
plenty of flowers for cutting. Pkt. (100 seeds) 
25c., 2 pkt. 45c., 4% oz. 60c., 14 oz. $1.00.
