Zinnia California Giants 
The California Giant 
type of Zinnia is win¬ 
ning a very prominent 
place with florists and 
with those who take 
great interest in the 
growing of a flne home 
flower garden. 
The enormous double 
flowers are borne on 
long stems. As com¬ 
pared with the Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnia, the 
petals are longer, more 
soft and wavy instead 
of being cupped. The 
Dahlia Flowered is very 
deep from top to bot¬ 
tom while the Califor¬ 
nia Giant is somewhat 
flattened. When well 
grown, the average 
liower is from 5 to 6 
inches across, with 
maiiy growing to 7 
inches under favorable 
conditions. Centers verv 
small and most of the 
colors carrying a beau¬ 
tiful two - tone effect, 
shading to a darker color at the center of the flower.
