Hart & Vickt ZINNIAS 
Probably no flower has such an assortment of bright shades, tints and colors, 
and no bedding plant is more effective for a brilliant show than the Zinnia. It blooms 
: from early summer until hard frost finally cuts it down. This old fashioned bedding 
plant, whose popularity is being increased every year by the addition of many new 
and remarkably beautiful varieties and colors, deserves a most prominent place in 
your garden. Sow the seed early in the spring. Give the plants plenty of room. Feed 
liberally with liquid sheep or cattle manure.
