WE ARE HEADQUARTERS FOR ZINNIA SEED 
ZINNIA—Continued 
Blooms from July to frost. Seeds can be planted in the open, 
or sown indoors and the young plants transplanted if desired. 
Dwarf varieties should stand about one foot apart, and tall 
varieties double this distance. Will grow anywhere and stand 
any amount of rough treatment, and is immune from disease. 
Very ornamental and satisfactory as a cut flower. Plant in 
July to get the largest and best flowers.

shade of golden orange, with a delicate lemon-yellow stripe 
through each petal, while the center is dark brown. Plants are 
early, and 8-10 inches tall, with a spread of 18 inches. Blooms 
until frost, and is ideal for borders or window boxes.

ZINNIA—Continued 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS—3 to 4 ft. (Giant Mammoth) 
The symmetrical flowers of this variety are large and very 
pleasing. The petals are more loosely placed than in the 
Dahlia type, giving the effect of a neater, flatter center, thus 
serving to accentuate the great size of the flower. These are 
better for cutting than the Dahlia Flowered type, as the stems 
are longer.
