Gold Medal Zinnia 
The colors are variations in red, yellow and violet, so- 
called pastel shades, difficult to describe. This new race of 
Zinnias created sensation wherever seen. Height 3-4 ft. 
To produce flowers of maximum size, 6 inches across or 
over, this Zinnia must be planted in rich soil and must be 
spaced 2 feet apart. The plants will amply fill the interven- 
ing spaces and it will pay to give the plants all this space. 
CULTURE—The best time to sow is in April. Start the seed in heat 
to get satisfactory stand and sow the seed rather thick. Transplant 
when the plants are large enough, Zinnia can be transplanted even 
when in full bloom if taken out of the ground with a ball of dirt.
