More About Zinnias 
Turn to page 64 (back cover page) and note 
what a marvelous assortment of the world’s 
best Zinnias I’ve crowded into that small 
space. 
If each variety were given the space it mer¬ 
its for glowing descriptions, I’d have needed 
several pages. 
Doubtless you are now acquainted with the 
sensational Dahlia-P lowered type. My list 
contains the cream of varieties in this class. 
This year I’m listing the Mammoth, strain 
or class. In place of the Colossal I’ve offered 
for years. 
The Mammoths are also known as California 
Giants. But I didn’t have space to use that 
long name. 
The Mammoth type is decidedly larger than 
the Colossal, which was also good size and 
fine. The Mammoth is about the size of the 
Dahlia-Flowered, but differs from it in that 
the Mammoth is not so deep, but about same 
diameter. Very large. 
No class of Zinnias comes so very true to 
type and color. There has been such rapid 
development in the size, type and colors that 
it will take years yet to get them all to come 
close to 100% true. But all are glorious, any¬ 
how. 
Personally, I think the cute little Pompons 
or Lilliput Zinnias are charming. Make such 
nice small bouquets. Last a long time when 
cut. The salmon-rose is especially pleasing. 
Zinnias thrive best in full sun. Like rich 
soil and plenty of water. Do NOT plant until 
ground is warm nor so early as to be caught 
by late spring frosts.
