ZINN!IAS—Continued 
DWARF SORTS 
For a beautiful display of color and for con- 
tinuous blooms, Dwarf Zinnias are unexcelled. 
They are real cut flowers and will last well in 
the house. Try some. 

INNIA, LILLIPUT 
DOUBLE LILLIPUT, 12 inches. A charming dwarf which is 
excellent for low borders or edgings. The plants are of tidy 
habit and produce a bounteous supply of very double pompon 
flowers about 14% inches across. The colors are bright and 
well varied. 
Mixed Colors. Pastels Mixed. 
HAAGEANA DOUBLE (Mexican Hybrids). The small flow- 
ered Mexican Zinnias have a charm all their own. The smaller 
flowers lend themselves to bedding and make a brilliant dis- 
play and yet have stems long enough to make fine bouquets 
for small vases and bowls. The mixture contains many attrac- 
tive colors and color combinations. Finest Mixed. 
TOM THUMB. These tiny flowered Zinnias have a charm the 
larger Ones can never attain, and make a briliiant display. 
They come in attractive color combinations, red tipped gold, 
salmon and gold, primrose yellow with a hundred unusual 
intermediate shades. All colors mixed. 
Linearis 
The most unusual and interesting of the newer Zinnias is 
the little dwarf variety, Linearis. The flowers, which are 
single, are a lovely shade of golden orange, with a delicaie 
lemon yellow stripe through each petal, while the center is 
dark brown in the young flowers, turning golden orange as 
the pollen develops. It is extremely early blooming, com- 
mencing to flower when the plants are about 6 inches tall. 
CREEPING MINIATURE ZINNIA 
(Sanvitalia) 
Like tiny Zinnias, golden with purple centers, single and 
double. The plants creep over the soil. Bloom from June until 
frost. Pkt. 15e. 
ROCK GARDEN ANNUALS 
Mixed 
This mixture of over 30 varieties, not exceeding 12 inches 
in height, will provide blooms throughout the entire season. 
Planted as early as possible, the gardener should have bluomis 
by the end of May. A succession of blooms will follow until 

late fall, when frost will destroy the flowers. A second lot of 
blooms may be enjoyed on most plants if they are cut back to 
two inches of the crown and properly watered. Pkt. L5e. 

ROCK GARDEN PERENNIALS 
Mixed 
A mixture of over 50 rare rock garden perennials with a 
maximum height of six inches. Some of the items will bloom 
almost as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Others will 
bloom later in the year, insuring the grower blooms all season. 
A planting, carefully made in a suitable place, should remain 
a beauty spot for a number of years without reseeding if given 
minimum care. Pkt. 25e.

CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS : 
Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared in 
rich, deeply worked soil with good drainage. Cover the seeds 
about 2 inches deep with fine soil and supply support to the 
growing vines before they grow too large. Keep well watered 
during dry periods. One ounce of seed will plant a row about 
15 feet long. ;
