DAHLIA FLOWERED 
Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias are of very recent origin yet 
they quickly became known because of their many out¬ 
standing features. The flowers are of immense size. They 
are made up of a large number of small petals which 
stand well apart, adding greatly to the grace and loose¬ 
ness of the blooms. This is a decided improvement over 
the Giant Mammoth type, which many gardeners con¬ 
sider stiff in effect. The plants make a strong growth 
and form a compact, well-rounded bush about 2 feet tall. 
The flowers are borne on long sturdy stems from mid¬ 
summer until frost.
