GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
The great advantage of this 
type is that the very large 
flowers are of enormous size and 
flat, getting away from the 
conical type of the Giants and 
eliminating the stiffness that 
has been so objectionable in 
Zinnias in the past. The flowers 
from the time they open are at¬ 
tractive, making them a good 
cut flower from the early bud 
until they are in full bloom. 
They are twice the size of the 
ordinary Giants.

Quick Facts on HORMODIN “A” 
The New Root-Forming Chemical Developed by Boyce 
Thompson Institute for Plant Research. 
rn*oc mahk 
A 
Hormodin “A’’ stimulates 
rapid root growth on leafy cut.' 
tings, thus assuring quicker and 
better rooting in higher per' 
centages than ever before pos' 
sible. Many species heretofore 
considered impossible to propa' 
gate from cuttings may be root' 
ed successfully when treated 
with Hormodin. 
By hastening the propagation of slower'rooting species to 
much less than normal time. Hormodin saves bench space time, 
and money. It permits transplanting some varieties of cuttings 
directly, from the bench to field conditions. 
Hormodin treatment is simple. It comes in liquid form and 
is applied as a dilute water solution. The cost is only a fraction 
of a cent per cutting. To assure root'forming potency, every 
batch of Hormodin is standardized chemically by the Merck 
Control Laboratories and physiologically by the Boyce Thomp' 
son Institute for Plant Research, Inc. 
PHOTOGRAPHIC 
PROOF 
This photograph vivid' 
ly proves the root'in' 
ducing power of Hor' 
modin. Both the treat' 
ed and untreated cutt' 
tings were in the same 
propagating bench, urn 
der the same condi' 
tions, the same length 
of time. Hormodin 
alone is responsible 
Not Treated Treated for the more profuse 
PERNET ROSE root growth.
