Zinnia Linearis 
T HE most unusual and interesting of the newer Zinnias is the little dwarf 
variety, Linearis. The flowers, which are single, are a lovely shade of golden 
orange, with a delicate lemon yellow stripe through each petal, while the center 
is dark brown in the young flowers, turning golden orange as the pollen 
develops. It is extremely early blooming, commencing to flower when the 
plants are about 6 inches tall and keeping on right through the season until the 
late frosts of autumn. It never looks untidy, as the dozens of newly opened 
flowers prevent the faded ones from becoming prominent. The plants reach a 
height of 8 to 10 inches and with plenty of room for development may have 
a spread of as much as 2 feet by the end of the season. The flowers are pro¬ 
duced in great profusion, literally hundreds being open at a time. Linearis is 
an extremely valuable addition to the list of plants suitable for border or edging 
use and is excellent for window boxes or in any part of the garden where a 
dwarf growing plant with brilliant coloring is desired. It will start flowering 
about 6 weeks after seed is sown.
