of gardening. The easy culture and long blooming season 
make them profitable and interesting. The Dahlia Flow¬

Horticultural Society in London in 1924, setting a new 
fashion in Zinnias. Since then it has received Silver 
Medal (1927) R. H. S., Gold Medals 1930 and 1931,

CALIFORNIA GIANTS. 
This mutation from the Dahlia Flowered type was in¬ 
troduced in 1926. It has since been further developed for 
florists’ and general use. This type has very large, im¬ 
bricated flowers and flat, getting away from the older 
conical type of Giants and eliminating the stiffness that 
has been so objectionable in Zinnias in the past. The 
flowers are attractive from the time they open, making 
them a good cut flower from the early bud until they are 
in full bloom. They are twice the size of the ordinary 
Giants. 
LILLIPUT (Pompon or Baby) ZINNIAS 
Very popular class for cut flower use. The flowers are 
small, compact and on strong stems. Plants 1 to 1 % ft.
