Sensational 
NEW ZINNIAS 
GULTURE—A sunny location, plenty of moisture and ample space for 
proper development are the simple requirements of the Zinnia. Failure to 
grow perfect flowers is usually due to overcrowding. Tall varieties should be 
thinned to stand 2 feet apart, and smaller sorts 12 to 14 inches apart. 
Plants properly spaced produce flowers that are large and true to type. 
Applications of liquid manure will improve the size of the blooms as Zinnias 
are heavy feeders and soon exhaust the soil. 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias—3 ft. 
Huge, double flowers, often measuring 4 inches in depth and from 4-5

show type of Dahlia, Flowers in 60 days.
