Always colorful and easy to grow, and now with the new Giant Cactus type, Zinnias 
have attained a charm and gracefulness previously lacking in this popular flower. 
The large flowers are made up of many strap-shaped, ruffled and fluffed petals 
which curve under and twist gaily to create great refinement. 
Seed may be sown where the plants are to flower when night temperatures have 
reached 60°, or they may be sown two weeks earlier in flats and transplanted. Allow
