BODGER’S FAMOUS “GOLD MEDAL” ZINNIAS FOR 
CUT FLOWERS AND GARDEN SHOW 
LILIPUT ZINNIAS HAVE OBTAINED THE GREATEST FAVOR FOR CUT FLOWERS 
ZINNIAS FOR THE FLORIST 
Few flowers have exhibited greater 
improvement at the hands of hybrid¬ 
izers than the Zinnias, and their im¬ 
provement has been matched with a 
corresponding increase in public 
favor. For those getting started with 
Zinnias, it should^be emphasized that 
the nature of the plants demands 
plenty of warmth. This is explained 
by the fact they are native to Mexico. 
This temperature requirement also, 
of course, applies to their seed ger¬ 
mination, which will be a certain 
failure in a cold, wet soil. The warm 
end of a carnation house or, say, a 
temperature of around 55 to 60 de¬ 
grees nights will germinate it.

Introduced in 1926 by Bodger, the originators of 
worth-while Zinnias. This type has rapidly gained 
in popularity. The plants are taller than the Dahlia 
flowered type, 3 to 4 ft., with long stems which 
adapt it particularly for use as a cut flower. Flowers 
are very large and flat, giving a graceful effect. 
Brightness. Bright, deep rose. 
Cerise Queen. Another new color we have added 
which should be in all collections. It is very bright 
and very striking. 
“Daffodil.” Bright canary yellow resembling nar¬ 
cissus King Alfred in color. Very fine.

Golden Queen. Golden yellow. 
Grenadier. Bright dark red.
