PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS —Since 1906 
Zinnias—The Most Colorful Flower of Them All. 
Plant Them Freely for a Riot of Color 
Our Zinnia Seed are grown by Bodger in California. Bodger is the origin¬ 
ator of the Dahlia flowered and other types of Zinnias. No other annual can 
take the place of Zinnias, with their brilliant flowers of massive size. They 
have become a general favorite. Zinnias withstand lots of heat, thriving best 
in a sunny location. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish 
a wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the fall.
