CALIFORNIA GIANTS—3 to 4 ft. 
(Giant Mammoth) 
The symmetrical flowers of this variety are large 
and very pleasing. The petals are more loosely 
placed than in the Dahlia type, giving the effect of 
a neater, flatter center, thus serving to accentuate 
the great size of the flower. These are better for 
cutting than the Dahlia Flowered type, as the 
stems are longer.

VICTORY CACTUS FLOWERED MIXED—2 ft. 
This type is quite a change from the usual Zinina, 
in that the petals are beautifully twisted and 
curled, giving an appearance of a cactus dahlia. 
Excellent for bedding and cutting, though the 
color range is rather limited.. £ oz., 45c. ; pkt., 10 
To promote continuous bloom in the flower 
garden, all seed pods should be kept clipped. 
Also, every day or two, all fading blossoms 
should be cut, so as to prevent seed formation, 
as the setting of seed terminates the period 
of bloom. This is particularly true of Pansies 
and Snapdragon. A few annuals are strong 
enough to continue blooming without cutting, 
and among them are Marigolds, Petunias and 
Verbenas. Some Spring-blooming plants like 
Delphiniums, will bloom again in the Fall if 
all flower-stalks are cut immediately after 
flowering. Put the shears in your pocket 
when you step into the garden, and reap the 
reward of extra bloom over a long season.
