ZINNIA 
Our summer specialty. Pinks, reds, yellows, and 
purples, in vivid shades, unexcelled for summer 
bedding and cut-flowers. We carry the origina¬ 
tor’s strain, Bodger’s Gold Medal, Dahlia-flowered 
and California Giant Zinnias, which cannot be ex¬ 
ceeded in size; lack of water or sunshine stunts 
the flowers, so give them plenty of both. Sow 
March to July. Germination period 5 to 10 days.

flowers; 3 feet): 
Canary Bird, bright yellow.
