CALIFORNIA GIANT ZINNIAS 
We have improved this variety to overcome the objectionable feature of the old 
Giant type; that is, the conical shape, and you will notice in planting these new 
Giants listed below, that they have smaller centers and more loosely placed petals, 
while the size of the flower has been notably increased. In presenting the type 
below, we offer a collection of striking and desirable colors, which can not be 
surpassed by any flower seed grower anywhere. 
The seed may be sown in a hot bed or sunny window and transplanted, or sown 
later in the open ground. If sown in the open ground in April, thin out as soon as 
the plants are well up, leaving at least l x /2 feet each way, as they are robust 
growers and require a large amount of space to attain maximum size. The plants 
come into flower early in the summer and keep on blooming until hard frost.
