JOHN BOBGER 
Founder of our firm and originator of Dahlia Flowered Zinnias 
ZINNIAS a 
Ever since our founder began his historic work on Zinnias, the name 
Bodger has been closely associated with this popular flower. Our first major intro¬ 
duction was the Dahlia Flowered strain, an advancement which entirely changed 
the Zinnia trend. This, the first of the really large show type of flower, was 
followed in a few years by our later introduction, the California Giants or 
Mammoth type. 
Realizing the demand also for the smaller flowered, cutting type, we con¬ 
centrated our efforts later to this end. Our introductions along this line have been 
numerous, including the popular Picotee Delight Salmon Rose and Pastel 
Mixed, the Early Wonder type, Crown O’ Gold, new colors in the Pumila Dwarl 
Double and Lilliput types, and improvements in all other existing varieties.
