FLORISTS’ ZINNIAS 
WHEREVER SUMMERS ARE WARM, ZINNIAS HAVE REAL VALUE. From the Giant 
Dahlia-Flowered specimens to the miniature Lilliputs or Pompons will be found highly at¬ 
tractive variations, in color as well as form—very necessary to any retail grower. When 
sheltered with either a greenhouse or cloth the flowers come nicely finished and long¬ 
stemmed. Lilliputs are especially nice under protection, especially fine for bedding, too, 
as is the more dwarf and smaller red Gracillima; and the newer Tom Thumb class, while 
not so uniform in its very dwarf habit as it will be in another year or two, is quite ideal 
for bedding under favorable conditions. 
SOWING SEED. Don't forget that seed might be condemned as "old" or "dead" if 
sown in cold, wet soil; the same seed in light warm material will jump into life in four 
or five days. For perfect Giant flowers outdoors during late August until frost, sow out¬ 
doors in our latitude late as July 10th, and don't overlook the nice margin in growing 
Zinnia seedlings for home gardeners. Besides a bulletin we issue on Zinnias, we supply 
a 20-page booklet, "The Zinnia and Its Uses," published by Bodgers, originators of and 
specialists in Zinnias. Bodger produces all our Zinnia seed. These publications are gratis.

Zinnia Lilliput, Rosebud. 
This neat little Pompon type is, we be¬ 
lieve, the most valuable one for cut 
flower work. Either cloth or greenhouse 
protection is necessary to draw out the 
stems. Such protection seems to reduce 
the size of the Giants while it increases 
some that of the Pompons.

No florist’s out-door crop pays without the protection of irrigation.
