Shumway’s Glorious Zinnias 
Zinnias are one of the most universally planted of all annuals. They are 
hardy and so easy to grow, doing well almost anywhere with little care. They 
offer many lovely colors, and their various types meet every garden need for 
beds, borders, and cut-flowers. Shumway’s Zinnias are far superior to the old- 
fashioned Zinnias because they offer a wider range of delicate as well as rich 
colors, have much larger blooms, and are more handsome in shape. Zinnias 
flower profusely and continuously from midsummer to late autumn. For the 
finest double flowers, plant in a sunny location with good soil and plenty of 
water. 
Giant Dahlia Flowered Type 
The greatest improvement in Zinnias yet produced. The flowers are immense, 
5 in. or more across and 3 to 4 in. in depth, held on long strong stems. In form 
they resemble a giant Decorative Dahlia. The range of colors is wonderful, 
with many blendings of pastel shades. The plants grow 3 to 4 ft. tall. We 
offer many lovely colors separately as well as excellent mixtures of all colors.
