ZINNIAS 
In July, 1924, the Royal 
Horticultural Society of 
England granted an 
'‘Award of Merit” for 
the strain and a Gold 
Medal for the Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnias ex- 
hibited at the London 
Show. A Silver Medal 
was awarded by the same 
Society in 1927, and in 
1930 a Gold Medal was 
awarded the flower at 
the International Exposi' 
tion at Antwerp, Beb 
gium. They have since 
been consistent winners 
at all important shows. 
ZINNIA ELEGANS ROBUSTA DAHLIIFLORA, 
Bodger’s Gold Medal Strain — Here is a flower of ex- 
ceptional merit. When Mr. Bodger, Sr., developed this 
now world-famous Gold Medal Strain he certainly set a 
new fashion in Zinnias. In formation the broad petals are 
closely imbricated, sometimes seeming almost to be piled 
one upon the other. The flowers often measure 4 inches 
deep and over 6 inches in diameter. In general appearance 
they compare with Show Dahlias. They come in a won' 
derful range of bright colors on long stems and possess very 
good keeping quality. 
Here are seven separate colors of Bodger’s Gold Medal 
Strain of Dahlia Flowered Zinnias.
