Harris’ 
ZINNIAS 
If there are more adaptable flowers than Zinnias we have never seen them. Easy 
to grow from seed sown outdoors they bloom over a long period, even under adverse 
soil and weather conditions. Colors run the whole gamut of pinks, reds, yellows, 
as well as white and lavender. For size they may be had from the tiny buttons of 
Cupid to the Giants sometimes measuring 6 inches across.
