JOHN BODGER 
Founder of our firm and originator of Dahlia Flowered Zinnias 
ZINNIAS a 
Ever since our founder began his historic work on Zinnias, the name Bodger 
has been closely associated with this popular flower. Our first major introduc¬ 
tion was the Dahlia Flowered strain, an advancement which entirely changed 
the Zinnia trend. This, the first of the really large show type of flower, was 
followed in a few years by our later introduction, the California Giant type. 
Realizing the demand also for the smaller flowered, cutting type, we con¬ 
centrated our efforts later to this end. Our introductions along this line have 
been numerous, including the popular Fantasy Mixture, the Picotee Delight 
and Early Wonder types, Crown O’ Gold, new colors in the Pumila Dwarf 
Double and Lilliput types, and improvements in all other existing varieties.
