ZINNIAS 
BODGER’S GIANT DAHLIA FLOWERED 
A Florist’s Moneymaker 
In 1919 we offered for the first time a new type of 
Zinnia, the Dahlia Flowered, which we predicted would 
take precedence over the Grandiflora Type of Zinnia 
as did the Spencers over the Grandiflora type of 
Sweet Peas. 
This year we are offering the Dahlia Flowered 
Zinnia in fourteen distinct shades, which we believe 
will please the most critical eye, and tend still further 
to increase the popularity of this remarkable flower. 
We ask you to bear in mind that Dahlia-Flowered 
Zinnias come in pastel shades, and the distinctive 
manner in which the pigments are distributed through- 
out the petals makes them extremely difficult to de- 
scribe. To assist in visualizing the true color, we have 
inserted, parenthetically, Ridgeway’s Color Chart de- 
scriptions.
