ZINNIAS 
Dahlia Flowered 
This wonderful flower 
creates a sensation wher¬ 
ever it is grown and it has 
probably gained popularity 
more quickly than any other 
improved garden flower 
offered in recent years. The 
large size, fullness of petals, 
extraordinary color range, 
and good keeping qualities 
have all contributed to its 
popularity. The flowers re¬ 
semble in appearance the 
Decorative Dahlia and is 
called the Dahlia Flowered 
Zinnia for this reason. When 
in full bloom they often measure five to six inches in 
diameter.

from the conical type of the Giants and eliminating 
the stiffness that has been so objectionable in Zinnias 
in the past.
