Hart & Vick’s 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 bed- 
ding plant, which is becoming more popular every 
year through the addition of many new and re- 
markably 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.
