Flower Seeds 
For Florists 
Our seed business being exclusively with florists, 
we sell only Bodger grown Zinnia seed. 
Wherever summers are hot, Zinnias have real florist value. 
B OTH for cutting and selling young plants from pots or flats, Zinnias are necessary 
to every retail grower and when well grown they are generally profitable for a 
market grower. But remember they flourish only in a warm temperature. This 
applies particularly to the germination of the seed, that will rot 'in a cold wet soil. 
If sown March 1, planted in a carnation house around April 1, they will Rower for 
Mother’s Day and through June. We sow directly outdoors about mid-June for a 
summer crop. If sown rather thick in rows 10 in. apart in a cloth house they will produce 
choice long-stemmed flowers. Like Asters, Zinnias are not suited to winter forcing 
because of lack of enough sun. 
We gladly send you gratis a circular that details the practical points in growing Zinnias. 
You will also find them dealt with in your "Ball Red Book.” 
The finest classes are the Dahlia-Rowered and the Mammoth. For cutting and bedding 
purposes the Lilliput type is valuable. For spring forcing under glass the fiery cerise 
pink Early Wonder” we find especially valuable both for color and early Rowering.
