CALIFORNIA SEED IN ILLINOIS 
"1 purchased your Zinnias and followed your plan for a Zinnia 
Garden, but on a larger scale, 55x35. Ribbons were won on the 
Fantasy and Mexican Zinnias at Flower Shows. The garden con¬ 
tained 1500 Zinnias. Personally. I had some misgivings about using 
California grown seeds in Illinois, but my fears proved to be imag¬ 
inary. In fact, 'I was very happy about the whole thing.' The 
Novelty Sunflowers also created unusual interest; many thought 
they were Dahlias. Carnations from your seed did very well, too, 
and I have several in pots in the house now, growing and bloom¬ 
ing."—Mr. Carl F. Albrecht, 576 Bryan St., Elmhurst, Ill. 
TWO BEAUTIFUL CENTAUREAS
