R B. BUCHANAN SEED CO. MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. 
California Giant Zinnias 
We have improved this variety to overcome the objectionable feature 
of the old Giant type; that is, the conical shape, and you will notice in 
planting these new Giants listed below, that they have smaller centers 
and more loosely placed petals, while the size of the flower has been 
notably increased. In presenting the type below, we offer a collection of 
striking and desirable colors, which can not be surpassed by any flower 
seed grower anywhere. 
The seed may be sown in a hot bed or sunny window and transplanted, 
or sown later in the open ground. If sown in the open ground in April, 
thin out as soon as the plants are well up, leaving at least 1 % feet each 
way, as they are robust growers and require a large amount of space to 
attain maximum size. The plants come into flower early in the summer 
and keep on blooming until hard frost.
