Opinions of Some of Last Year’s Growers 
of the Giant Double Dahlia- 
Flowered Zinnia 
“T ordered a collection of your Giant Double Zinnia Novelty for 1925 early 
this year, and the seeds were sown in the middle of April. I have flowers from 4 
to 6 inches in diameter and the plants are 4 feet high. Everybody passing by stops 
to admire them (Oriole and Meteor seemed to be the favorites), and I don’t hesi- 
tate to tell them where I got the seeds from. 
“T have ordered Zinnia Seeds from other people in the U. S. and they were sown 
same time as yours but gave very poor results. I strongly recommend people in 
the South to use your seeds, where Zinnia will bloom 10 months in the year.” 
July 6, 1925. Mr. F. MARTINS, 
if New Orleans, La. 
“I want to congratulate ee on your fine Zinnias, which I have produced from 
our seeds this summer. They are wonderful and just as you claimed they would 
e. After this I will send to Peter Henderson & Co. for my flower Seeds and 
S. 
Bulbs. 
July 21, 1925. Mrs. W. B. NEWLIN, 
h Danville, Ind. 
“My new Gtant Double Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias are in full bloom and the 
most beautiful sight one could imagine. My Asters are equally as pretty from the 
seeds I obtained from you.”” ; 
August 7, 1925. Mrs. IMOGENE A. GROSS, 
West Palm Beach, Fla. 
“The seeds thai I received last year proved more satisfactory than I ever ex- 
pected. They were the best seeds that I’ve ever planted. The Zinnias were ad- 
mired by everybody and also the Asters.” 
May 3, 1925. Mr. JOHN A. TRETTER, 
Lancaster, Penn.

at our County Fair on the Zinnias. My seeds were your Collection of Six. We 
‘had judges from out of the City and one of them ts in the State Department, so I 
have been besieged by them and many others as to where I Ge [eS

Hamilton, Texas.

by every person who saw them. Hope to have the same success this year.”
